One third of employees in the health sector would trade in their manager
 New research shows that one in three employees (33%) working in the health sector would swap their manager if they could - with nearly a quarter (21%) claiming they could do a better job themselves, given the chance.
According to the poll, conducted for Investors in People, poor communication by managers could be the reason behind this employee dissatisfaction.
An ability to communicate effectively was listed by employees working in the health sector as the most important quality for a successful manager, yet more than one in three (38%) said their manager was not good at communicating with them. 79% of respondents also said that honesty was a very important quality for a manager, but 15% believed that their manager had, at some stage, claimed credit for their work.
The research also shows that the most popular type of manager is someone who delegates (38%), followed by someone who is firm but fair (22%), and someone who looks after employees’ careers (16%).
