Building Manager-Employee Relationships

Leadership provides the foundation for a meaningful employee experience. Strong relationships between managers and employees increase connections to other parts of your company culture.

Managers who serve as mentors advocate for employee development. When these managers connect their employees with development opportunities, the managers and employees feel more connected to each other.

Employees who are mentored typically form a favorable opinion of their manager. These employees feel motivated to perform their best and contribute to a larger purpose.

Managers who regularly talk with their employees help them feel appreciated, supported, and respected. Creating a sense of belonging to the organization contributes to strong company culture.

Expressing appreciation for employee achievements encourages continuous performance at high levels. This appreciation includes what an employee accomplished, their actions, the results they attained, and how they impacted the organization.
