This highly interactive and participatory workshop offers both inspiration and concrete tools to increase supervisor effectiveness. This training is designed for the seasoned manager as well as the brand new supervisor.
People are a nonprofit’s greatest resource and people, especially your employees, engaged in the mission of your nonprofit create organizational success. Employee engagement is not something you can require; it is something to be cultivated. The most immediate way you can foster employee engagement is by equipping supervisors in your organization with the knowledge and skills to be an effective supervisor.
Expected learning outcomes:
- Increased understanding of your own supervisor style and how to build on your strengths as a supervisor
- Improved skills at using a coach approach in supervising employees including how to have difficult conversations
- Immediately implementable tools to use with employees including building trust
- Ideas developed and tailored to your specific supervisor situation(s)
~70 to 80% of employees leave a job because of his or her direct supervisor
I liked this session because it was advertised as interactive and it delivered. The presenter was engaging and developed activities for the entire audience no matter supervisory level.
