Managers in the Mirror: What Makes Leaders Sink or Soar?

Effective managers are the foundation of a thriving, high-performing organization.

Data tells us that the influence of good people management reaches across employee productivity, retention, and the larger employee experience. Yet too often, managers are left undersupported and lack the skills to be successful in their role. 

Leadership development needs a shake-up.

Perceptyx’s third-annual research study explores the evolving role of managers and how their effectiveness shapes the employee experience, and we’re partnering with UNLEASH to bring these insights to you exclusively in a live, interactive panel discussion.

This year’s findings reveal continued challenges to manager well-being, critical skills gaps, and new pressures from changing workplace dynamics. The 2025 report also features expanded insights from the UK and Europe, deeper analysis on learning and development trends, as well as new data quantifying the cost of poor management.
