Getting the most out of your managers, who are often in the position reluctantly, can be difficult. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve created this easy-to-understand article that outlines how Mo\u2019s platform can activate your managers for real results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Great Management Is the Key to Team Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that managers dictate the effectiveness of an HR initiative, accounting for <strong>70% of the variance in employee engagement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential to activate your management team to create real cultural change in your organisation. For example, if you invest in recognition software but see low uptake, it might be down to management apathy. Unless you \u201cactivate\u201d your managers on initiatives, you\u2019re unlikely to see results. Managers are the difference between a highly engaged team and a poor performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better engagement is the secret to improved productivity and lower attrition rates and our platform is expertly designed to improve these metrics in as little as six months.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"logic-button-align-lg-flex-start logic-button-align-flex-start wp-block-logic-buttons\">\n\t\n<a class=\"is-style-dark wp-block-logic-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mo.work\/speak-to-an-expert\/\"><span class=\"label\">Speak to an expert<\/span><span class=\"icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M0 256a256 256 0 1 0 512 0A256 256 0 1 0 0 256zM297 385c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0s-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l71-71L120 280c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24s10.7-24 24-24l214.1 0-71-71c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9s24.6-9.4 33.9 0L409 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L297 385z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does \u201cActivating Managers\u201d Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Activating your managers is a simple concept that was once complicated to achieve. \u201cActivation\u201d means optimising your management\u2019s performance to achieve company goals. Sound straightforward? With the right tools, it can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we explain the solution, let\u2019s examine a hard truth: One bad manager can be enough to disrupt positive company culture. The data indicates that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mo.work\/blog\/bad-management\/\">82% of managers<\/a>&nbsp;end up in the position \u201caccidentally\u201d, while one in four employees have left a job because of a negative relationship with their manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, if most managers are struggling, activating their potential will significantly improve employee performance and engagement across your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-meta-box-newsletter\">\n\t<div>\n\t\t<div class=\"row align-items-end justify-content-between\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"is-style-introduction\">Join our community<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sign up for our Mo newsletter, packed with the latest data, product updates and new podcast episodes -&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"hs-newsletter-fields\">\n\t<script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n\t<script>\n\t\thbspt.forms.create({\n\t\t\tportalId: \"2469663\",\n\t\t\tformId: \"0300f456-c87b-4ea2-870c-664af35b309f\"\n\t\t});\n\t<\/script>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<span class=\"squiggle\">\n\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 459.44 134.09\">\n\t\t\t<g>\n\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M210.12,46.61c-55.04,34.92-94.8,60.16-178.96-3.6L0,84.15c48.63,36.85,88.64,49.94,123.14,49.94,45.45,0,81.31-22.76,114.64-43.9,53.97-34.25,100.57-63.82,194.12-4.78l27.54-43.65c-121.18-76.46-192.23-31.37-249.32,4.86Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/g>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Mo Activate My Managers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our award-winning platform is designed to help busy managers engage their teams.

Give them a budget to distribute awards for \u201cteamwork\u201d or \u201cselflessness\u201d. Ask them to present on the topic of your company values. If their team can see that they take these things seriously, employees are more likely to respond with their positive behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Change My Management Culture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If these questions have raised a red flag, you should consider targeted management training.
