As work is increasingly becoming knowledge work, and the expertise of employees
becomes more important, a more inclusive and instructive approach should also
be adopted in managerial work. It is important for superiors to have
interaction and guidance skills.

 

Today’s managers are responsible for the development of teams and individuals including career planning. In the competitive business world today, a lot of pressure is being exerted on many of the employees of an organization, and the consequent stress and strain affect their physical and mental health. Thus, there is a need for proper and timely counselling skills for such employees. The objective of counselling is to ease work pressure and make the work more result oriented and render the work environment more congenial, conducive and, above all, enjoyable. Managers have to be fully equipped to handle such situations as employees need professional help as well as emotional and mental support.
