The Business Case for Supervisor Development

Supervisors are the wardens of your employees’ experiences. They directly lead 70-80% of most organizations, therefore they impact 70-80% of your business results, engagement, turnover, and brand.
If we want our employees to be happy, motivated and productive – this begins and ends with the relationship they have with their supervisor, and that supervisor’s capability to do the job entrusted to them. How many of us would hire an accountant without an accounting education, a maintenance technician without technical development, an engineer without engineering education?
But we will take our best workers and put them in a position of leading our workforce – with no development other than to figure it out on the fly, or to learn from someone else without development. This 3-hour session will look at the Cost and Impact that supervision has on our business.
How a small investment (and they are investments) in supervisor development can increase retention, engagement, trust, psychological safety, brand and profitability.
We will examine what a structured supervisor development program looks like, how it is supported by HR and Executive Leadership, and what results you can expect.
