Workshop: How to Empower Managers to Drive HR Impact in 2026

HR leaders want managers to take greater ownership of engagement, wellbeing and performance - freeing up people teams to focus on strategic priorities. But there’s still a clear gap between what support managers think they provide and what employees actually experience. And with 44% of employees wanting to progress without becoming a manager, the traditional leadership path is losing its appeal. 

To move forward, HR must reframe the manager role - equipping leaders with practical tools they’ll actually use and making management a compelling career step. 

Join People Experience Director Chris Britton and Employee Experience Expert Kate Ithell on Thursday 29th January at 1pm for a webinar workshop on building a manager toolkit that empowers leaders and strengthens the impact and results of your engagement programmes. 

Chris and Kate will: 

• Guide you through a practical, step‑by‑step process to build a manager toolkit covering onboarding, performance, recognition and wellbeing 

• Show how managers can amplify the HR voice and increase the ROI of people initiatives 

• Break down what great management looks like, and the personalised support employees expect 

• Share actionable ways to reignite interest in leadership roles within a management‑averse workforce 

• Provide you with an exclusive, customisable manager toolkit template
