Training to support the Civil Service Line Management Standards now feature among the top ten most popular learning resources on Civil Service Learning.
More than 10,000 line managers have viewed the Standards since they were launched in June. The Line Manager Induction Programme - which supports the Standards - has also seen increased interest and uptake.
"Line managers have a significant impact on people's day to day experiences of working in the Civil Service," said Matt Meynell, Deputy Director of Line Management Capability team, pictured.
"It's great to see that managers across government are embracing the new Civil Service Line Management Standards and recognise the part they play in putting excellent line management at the heart of everything we do.
"The Standards are already raising the profile and esteem for line management, helping to improve the employee experience for all.
"I'd urge everyone to read them, whether you are a line manager or not, and to keep an eye out for the products coming on-stream over the rest of the year."
Over the next year, the Standards will continue to be rolled out and embedded as best practice in all Government departments. The Standards set consistent expectations and training for aspiring, new and experienced line managers.
