Abstract

Talk Series Lecture 11 by Carol T. Kulik who is a Bradley Distinguished Professor at the University of South Australia, UniSA Business and co-author of Human Resources for the Non-HR Manager (Routledge, 2023). Professor Kulik’s research encourages HR professionals and line managers to join forces to make the world a better place, one workplace at a time.

This presentation, titled ‘The Unsung Heroes of your Organisation’, will explore the importance of line managers to every organisation. A line manager has a major impact on employee commitment, performance, and innovation, but they increasingly face unique challenges of managing remote/dispersed workforces and integrating digital workflows. Line managers are continually asked to do more with less, leaving them chronically under-resourced for their people management activities.

Professor Kulik will engage us in a discussion of the ways that line managers’ people management responsibilities have changed over time, with the goal of identifying the key places where employers could provide better support to their line managers. Additionally, Professor Kulik will suggest research-based strategies that managers can implement immediately, even in low-support work environments, without adding to their already heavy work responsibilities.
