Want happier employees and higher productivity?
Look to your leaders to increase well-being.
You have good people working for you. Keep their well-being high and they'll be more satisfied in their jobs, more committed to your company, less likely to leave, and more likely to help co-workers.
All of this helps company performance. Employees with higher well-being are:
-
-
28%
more productive
-
31%
more creative
-
70%
more likely to recommend their organisation as a good place to work.1

But how do you increase well-being for employees?
Research shows: Manager-employee relationships are critical to employee well-being and engagement
Research shows that an employee’s relationship with their manager has an especially large effect on their well-being.2
The problem is—not all managers are skilled at maintaining relationships. They might not know the best way to communicate with their employees and give them what they need.
Why? Because different people need different things to have a great relationship. That’s where the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) can help.
Understanding personality differences can:
- Foster deeper relationships between managers and employees
- Help both people communicate with each other better
- Improve understanding of differences
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator helps people connect. And better relationships are built on connection.

Two routes to better manager relationships and employee well-being:
Run your own training for your managers by getting MBTI® certified
By getting MBTI certified, you can use your training to help your managers foster better relationships, be better leaders, and therefore help improve overall employee well-being. You can coach individuals, run team workshops, and help your organisation perform better all around. Our certification program will give you everything you need to plan and deliver a workshop to help improve well-being.
"The virtual delivery was seamless and the availability of (free) virtual support materials for practitioners is also excellent. Once you pass the exam you are ready to hit the ground running!"
