To Fix Workplace Culture, Fix Middle Management

2023 Annual
By strategically redesigning the role of middle management, HR leaders can create high-performing cultures and better retain and recruit key talent.

Middle management was critical to keep information flowing and providing insight across the organization on what was happening. Yet technology, including CRMs, started changing the business landscape. Information to manage the entire business can be seen and accessed across the organization while you're getting coffee. Middle management now struggles to remain relevant. The most logical role for middle management is to serve as the vital cog in the alignment of strategy and people - better known as culture.
