title: Subordinate appraisal of managers: a useful tool for the NHS.
abstract: Problems in recruiting and retaining professional staff are an ongoing concern to many NHS Trusts and professional heads of service. There is evidence from a wide variety of sources that direct line managers are frequently cited as a source of worker's stress and a cause of staff turnover. Reviews these issues and suggests subordinate appraisal of managers as one possible response.
