Charities can only change their part of the world, and work towards achieving their mission, by having the right people in post, and those people having the support they need to do their job well.

 

The pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis, and the extra demands theses are making on organisations and colleagues, mean that what was already a labour of love, is just getting harder.  Many of your colleagues are struggling – and your charity might be struggling too.

 

It's becoming increasingly apparent that the number one reason that struggles don't get reduced or removed; that small problems go un-checked and fester; and that workplace culture slides; is that managers don’t have the skill, experience or confidence to know how to deal with them.

​

Or to deal with constant external change; with an un-recovered workforce; with increasing demand for services; or with the passion fatigue that many are also feeling

 

And, in a candidate’s market, having a great line manager can make the difference between staying and succeeding, or looking for a new job and leaving.

Or between accepting or turning down your job offer

 

All of this means it’s never been harder – or more important - to create and embed a supportive and inclusive culture; to protect colleague wellbeing; and to have a great line manager

 

This is a lot of pressure. But you don’t have to do this alone
