Introduction to Supervision (Level 2)

What is Supervision?
In common parlance, the term is well understood but in the working environment it is more complex. Different supervisors in different companies and sectors will all give a slightly different definition; ultimately they will all have much the same concepts and ideas at their core. Supervision can be defined as the following:

The process of maintaining an effective working environment and a motivated workforce where individuals or groups can work together to achieve their defined aims.

Key Topics:

- The Role of the Supervisor
- Supervision and Decision Making
- Employee Performance
- Recruitment and Selection
- Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures
