Empower your managers and boost capability
Empowering people managers with technology, training, and tools to self-serve employee relations matters transforms employee experiences, shortens case durations, and allows HR to focus on strategy.
Empower your people leaders: Boost manager capability
Does your HR team handle all employee relations cases instead of delegating them to managers? If so, you risk overburdening HR and missing valuable opportunities to develop managerial capabilities. This is especially crucial for accidental managers – those who excel in their technical roles but lack formal training in people management.
By empowering managers to address standard people issues proactively before they escalate into formal employee relations cases, you can reduce HR’s workload, allowing them to focus on strategic tasks and boost business efficiency. This approach also ensures that all managers, regardless of their background, become confident and effective people leaders.
The only solution that enables managers to confidently and competently self-serve employee relations cases, transforming accidental managers into effective leaders, is empower® by AdviserPlus.
It’s intuitive platform and guided journeys reduces reliance on HR for managing everyday people matters. It also provides actionable people insights that enable a data-driven approach to enhancing employee experiences, helping to create a resilient and agile workforce.
