CHICAGO, Oct. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HR TECH — Following the successful launch of Employee Effectiveness, Culture Amp's recently launched 360° Review product, the company has announced a Manager Effectiveness diagnostic to help organizations develop and promote effective managerial behaviors.

The product is designed as an upward feedback tool, inspired by research from Google's Project Oxygen, a publicly available research program that has identified ideal management behaviors. The new diagnostic gives individual managers feedback on where they need to focus in order to develop best-practice managerial skills. It also provides People and Culture leaders with insights on development opportunities for managers across the organization.

Culture Amp CEO, Didier Elzinga, said Manager Effectiveness is the easiest way for individuals to use the learnings from Google's Project Oxygen to help them become better leaders.

"This is relevant for organizations across a range of sizes and industries, but especially for industries where attracting, motivating and retaining great leaders is important," Elzinga said.

Management remains understudied and undertaught—largely because it's so difficult to describe what qualities managers should have, along with what they need to strive for. Culture Amp's Manager Effectiveness seeks to address that.

Manager Effectiveness is the latest Culture Amp diagnostic built to empower employees to take ownership of their individual development by requesting feedback from the right colleagues at the right time. Culture Amp's existing product, Employee Effectiveness, is also designed to be launched at any time by any individual in the organization, giving employees ownership — and accountability — over their professional development.
