"The Police Foundation have published a report exploring in more detail the link between the way police organisations are led and managed and workforce wellbeing. There is a wealth of evidence showing that ‘employee engagement’ (for example through good communication, continuous feedback and high levels of autonomy at work) are linked with improved performance and psychological wellbeing. These findings pose a particular challenge for policing because it has cleaved to a very hierarchical model of leadership."
