Overview

Effective delegation supports staff development and improves employee motivation, helping to build a culture of trust in an organisation and boosting both individual and team performance. Giving people the responsibility to carry out activities that will stretch and challenge them allows them to learn and grow, while at the same time giving managers more time to focus on other aspects of their role.
