The management agenda

The leading indicator of workplace trends in the UK.

Roffey Park’s Management Agenda is the definitive survey that helps organisations understand what to expect in the year ahead. Regularly featured in newspapers and professional journals, the research is widely recognised as one of the most important and reliable indicators of emerging workplace trends in the UK.

Based on the views of managers and directors, the report covers four areas:

The external environment – reports on managers’ views on how their organisations’ are coping with the economic climate, the strategies they are adopting, and how it is affecting managers’ daily organisational lives
The organisation – investigates managers’ views on various aspects of their organisation, including its structure, culture and the quality of its leadership. This section also looks at how effectively managers feel their organisations manage change. and managers views on how ethical they feel their organisations behave towards a variety of stakeholders.
People and Performance Management – investigates managers’ views of people and performance management practices in their organisations. This section also explores the views of HR and non-HR managers on the role and responsibilities of HR versus the line, and non-HR manager views on the effectiveness of HR. This section also explores the views of line managers on their own management capabilities, and compares these with their views on management capabilities more widely in their organisations. Also covered are manager views on teamworking, learning and development including talent management.
The individual manager – examines levels of engagement, happiness and well-being in the context of continued pressure from the economic climate. We also explore some of the challenges managers face including workload, conflict and stress.
