Good Employment Learning Lab Project Data, 2021-2022

The Good Employment Learning Lab trialed short interventions that develop the people management skills of line managers to find out ‘what works, for whom, and why?’. We wanted to know how line management development can create efficient teams and good work for staff and managers. Our findings culminated in the GELL Framework for Developing the People Management Skills of Line Managers. We had two Learning Labs: • The Greater Manchester Good Employment Learning Lab worked with the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter and local authorities to make sense of the challenge of raising people management skills in a particular place. • The Adult Social Care Good Employment Learning Lab worked with Skills for Care, the NHS and local authorities to make sense of the challenge of raising people management skills in a particular sector. Both Learning Labs were also supported by the CIPD, ACAS, the Federation of Small Businesses and the TUC.
