Supervisor
Training: The ABC's of Supervising Others
This two-day
supervisor training module for new supervisors/managers is designed to help
you overcome many of the supervisory problems you will encounter
in your first few weeks as a new supervisor - whether you are a
team leader, a project manager or a unit coordinator. Dealing
with the many problems a supervisor encounters isn’t easy but it
doesn’t have to lead to discouragement.
What
participants will learn:
At the conclusion of this workshop, you should feel more
comfortable in the following areas:
-
Help clarify
roles and responsibilities in your new role supervising
others
-
Adjust to this
new role with confidence and an assurance you can handle the
position
-
Develop your
communication skills in listening, asking questions and giving
feedback to employees
-
Develop a
technique for making sure you give employees instructions that
are clear and understood
-
Identify some
techniques to deal with employee challenges such as squabbles,
complaints and laziness
-
Recognize the
importance of being visible and available to employees
-
Understand the
importance of developing good relationships with employees and
peers, so you are seen as fair and consistent.
Workshop
Outline:
As facilitator,
you have the option of using a variety of training methods
for each workshop. This includes large group discussions,
individual work and reflection, small group discussions &
exercises, case studies and simulations for role play.
Customization will be based on your own needs or information
provided by your human resource department or the individual
department prior to the workshop. Materials are designed as
interactive workshops with a 40/60 split between
concept/theory and practical application of skills
discussed. Class size should be kept under 20, whenever
possible, so each participant will have the opportunity to
gain techniques for the types of situations they deal with
or expect to deal with.
