The Supervisors Academy is geared to first and second-line supervisors and those who also lead front-line employees. This Academy is five to seven days, depending on the organization’s needs. The sessions focus on the changing role of supervisors and on skill building in the areas of team development, performance management, coaching and counseling, conflict resolution and communication, and managing diversity.

The program is interactive, combining lecturettes and best practices models, group discussion, team activities, videos, and critical thinking exercises.

An additional feature of our in-house Supervisors Academy is a series of presentations by in-house experts in the areas of budget and finance, human resources, support services, labor relations, and topical organizational themes/issues.
