How many employees for each manager? Don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach when considering staff numbers per manager. Do so is likely to be detrimental for your business and team & manager retention.

I share 5 crucial drivers of team size for each manager.

---

The first factors in employee numbers per manager is the pace of change within a business, function or team. The higher the pace of change, the lower the staff per manager ratio should be. Employees don’t like change, and it takes a lot more time and effort from the manager to successfully guide teams through change.

The second factor for how many staff per manager is team capabilities versus business requirements. The more time a manager needs to spend on developing team capabilities, the lower the manager vs staff ratio.

The third factor for employee numbers per manager is the complexity of work undertaken by both employee and manager. I share 7 different factors that increase complexity within the workplace.

The fourth factor for number of employees for each manager is the tools and technology available and being used by the team. Technology tends to standardise employee roles and their tasks and activities. The more standardised the roles, the more people that a manager can effectively manage.

The fifth factor in the number of employees for each manager is what the specific role of the manager is. What goals and objectives are you asking the manager to achieve. For example, is the role maintaining performance or improving performance. Expectations for the manager impacts the number of employees per manager.
