The figures back up our argument – develop the loyalty of your employees by being proactive.
Creating a Positive Environment: A good manager, by fostering a positive working environment, can help to improve engagement, thereby reducing the risk of staff leaving.

The figures don’t lie, and they underline the crucial importance of management in reducing staff turnover. Investing in the development of managerial skills and promoting positive leadership are not just strategies, but imperatives for companies wishing to maintain a stable, high-performance team. The figures clearly show that the momentum generated by good managers is not just an aspiration, but a necessity if we are to thrive in today’s business world.
How can we help managers as effectively as possible?
Managers rarely have the capacity to manage all these skills intuitively and spontaneously. Companies today are investing more and more in the assessment of managerial skills to support managers where they need it most.
Colour tests have been widely used in companies as a first tool to make managers aware of their need for agility and adaptability when dealing with employees. The Assess Manager management test dedicates part of its report to this approach. But this is not enough, even if it is the essential first step.
This first stage needs to be completed by the assessment of managerial skills, which is found in the second part of the Assess Manager test report.
The dynamic created by good managers has a direct impact on staff turnover. Investing in the assessment and targeted development of managerial skills and promoting positive leadership are essential strategies for reducing employee attrition. Companies that recognise the importance of management in retaining talent are better positioned to control turnover these days.
