Sprigg believes that talent management and employee development is an ongoing process and new lessons can always be learned, regardless of seniority.

A recent Development Dimensions International study has offered new light on the impact of poor relations between managers and their employees. The report found:

• Four in 10 employees have left a job primarily due to management
• Most employees (55%) have considered leaving a job because of their manager

The Sprigg software helps foster collaboration and development of both employees and managers. We believe that by having real conversations supported by metric-driven HR processes and tools, organizations can tackle what a Leadership Pulse global survey last year has identified as the  ‘trust gap’.

The survey highlighted several major consequences of bad communication between leader and their reports such as:

• 64% of employees rated their level of trust of leadership as moderate at best.
• 91% of employees said it was highly important to have leaders they trust, but only 48% of leaders agreed.
• 87% of leaders said they always or often acknowledged their own mistakes, but only 19% of employees said this was the case with their own leaders
