Research indicates that managers are responsible for approximately 70% of the variation in employee engagement within teams. Despite this, Singaporean organizations report relatively low scores in managerial effectiveness, with an average rating of just 3.32 out of 5.

By investing in managerial training and support, companies can better equip their leaders to motivate and support their teams. Enhancing managerial quality is crucial in tackling the broader disengagement challenge, especially among younger employees who report lower engagement rates.
