It&#8217;s the ripple effect they create across the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers shape the day-to-day employee experience, making this disengagement incredibly harmful to teams.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-intro-large-text is-style-intro-large-text--1\"><strong>Disengaged managers create disengaged teams&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers are the single biggest driver of team engagement. Research shows that team engagement is&nbsp;largely influenced&nbsp;by their manager, making managers\u2019 roles critical. When managers are disengaged:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Team morale weakens&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback becomes inconsistent&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Productivity&nbsp;varies&nbsp;across teams&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High performers are more likely to leave&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations often focus heavily on employee programs while overlooking the role of managers in sustaining engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-intro-large-text is-style-intro-large-text--2\"><strong>Incentives alone are not enough&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many organizations&nbsp;attempt&nbsp;to drive manager engagement through incentives or performance bonuses. While these can have a short-term impact, they do not address the root of the issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across APAC, this challenge is particularly visible in sales-driven and target-heavy environments, where managers are rewarded for outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of these incentives? Managers prioritize hitting numbers over building engaged, high-performing teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers need more than outcome-based rewards. They need the right tools and support to lead effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-intro-large-text is-style-intro-large-text--3\"><strong>Enabling managers to drive engagement&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations that are seeing strong results are focusing on empowering managers through:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Training and capability building:<\/strong> Equipping managers with skills to lead, coach, engage and recognize teams&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real-time feedback tools:<\/strong> Enabling managers to give and receive feedback consistently&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Embedded recognition:<\/strong> Making recognition a part of leadership behavior, not&nbsp;an occasional&nbsp;activity&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aligned performance metrics:<\/strong> Evaluating managers on how well they engage their teams&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-intro-large-text is-style-intro-large-text--4\"><strong>The impact of engaged managers&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations that prioritize manager engagement are seeing up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/349484\/state-of-the-global-workplace.aspx?utm_source=linkedin&amp;utm_medium=p_social&amp;utm_term=tl&amp;utm_campaign=li-wk_sogw26-tl_ks\">79%<\/a> of managers engaged at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Programs implemented by BI WORLDWIDE&nbsp;demonstrate&nbsp;how engaging managers drives engagement across teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a global recognition program, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/en-sg\/our-work\/case-study\/creating-a-high-performance-culture\/\">97% of managers<\/a> actively&nbsp;participated&nbsp;in giving recognition to teams once equipped with the right tools and structures<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/en-sg\/our-work\/case-study\/creating-a-high-performance-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in these environments were 3.7 times more likely to recognize their peers and 6 times more likely to recommend their organization as&nbsp;a great place&nbsp;to work,&nbsp;showcasing&nbsp;how manager-led behaviors cascade across teams and boost retention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in manager engagement creates a multiplier effect across teams, improving employee engagement, performance, and retention.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-intro-large-text is-style-intro-large-text--5\"><strong>Integrating Manager Engagement Across the Asia Pacific<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest barriers to manager engagement in APAC is regional and local complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations must navigate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multiple languages and cultural norms <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Varying levels of manager capability <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different market maturity levels <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hybrid and frontline-heavy workforces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many global programs fail because they are deployed uniformly across the region without localization.
