Sarah Roberts - NHS Wales

"Sarah makes sure that she takes time out pretty much every day to check that we are coping with what is a pretty heavy workload during a very strange time. As a key worker, I feel exposed being around people as part of my role and Sarah has always been there to answer my questions, provide support or just to chat. She's given out her mobile phone number os that we can contact her any time."

What makes for a great manager?

They Care

Management isn't about grinding out results irrespective of the cost. Great people managers Care about the people that they work with. They respect their team members as people who have lives outside of work and show genuine interest in them as individuals - management is about people and the Great Managers care about people.

They Talk & Listen

Conversing involves two things. Ensuring that your people are well informed as to what is going on - not keeping them in the dark engages them and helps a team be a great team. Listening to your team members is equally, if not more important. Your people have a voice, it's important to encourage them to use it and contribute. There's a reason people have one mouth and two ears!

They're Considerate

Being Considerate of the people that you work with can often be overlooked as we are all so busy! Supporting your team members when they need help, and recognising the great work that they do can be the difference between a manager and a Great Manager.

They're Motivational

Motivation is what makes things happen and it takes a special person to be able to motivate, energise and inspire a team. Selling the vision and direction of an organisation and ensuring that their people understand how they fit into the bigger picture is what makes a Great Manager help make things happen.

How do we know this?

Best Companies have listened to over 4½ million people's thoughts on their jobs and their workplace and have used this data and insight to develop MC³

MC³ is a managerial engagement methodology and platform, and basis for recognising managers through Accreditation.

You can read more about this here. Why are Great Managers important?

Engaging with employees is essential to success.

It’s clear that simply creating jobs isn’t enough; work must be fair, provide opportunities and give people a voice on the issues that matter.

People are an organisation's greatest source of value and the organisations that enable people to give their best perform better - the business case is clear.
