Visier Insights™ Report: How Tenure Affects Manager Performance

Data-backed insights that challenge assumptions about the impact of manager experience

Organizations can no longer afford to rely on assumptions about what drives manager effectiveness.

We analyzed 3.4 million employee records to reveal the complex interplay between manager tenure and team performance, and found that the effects of manager tenure on the likelihood of leading a high-performing team varies from one organization to the next.

For 30% of companies, longer manager tenure is continuously linked to a higher likelihood of high-performing teams, while at 45% of companies, the positive effects of longer manager tenure are temporary.

What you’ll learn in this research report:

  • The nuances of tenure and performance.
  • Why a manager’s place in the hierarchy matters.
  • Key metrics to track manager effectiveness.
