NBER Working Paper #33670
👉 www.nber.org/papers/w33670
If you want training to work, you need more than money or policy.
You need middle managers who believe in people—and are trusted in return.
Workers only invest in training if they trust that promotions will follow. That trust is manager-specific.
A good manager makes incentives real.
Teams led by HT managers:
✅ Performed better
✅ Were promoted more
✅ Had less absenteeism—even during major organizational changes.
When an HT manager arrived, participation jumped:
📊
Managers who were people-focused, proactive, and cared about development boosted training take-up by 45–60% compared to others.
But participation varied dramatically across teams.

Why do some employees take up training and others don’t, even when the programs are the same?
Surprisingly, the answer isn’t HR policy—it’s middle managers.

And most of these relationships operate on low margins. That means big tariffs will shut down a considerable number of them.
