Learning Outcomes

Overview

Frontline Managers and Supervisors are the key relationship-builders and influencers in most organisations. They deal with employees on an ongoing day-to-day basis and have individual and team relationships. These can be positive or negative.  Frontline managers and supervisors have a significant influence on employee morale, individual worker attitude, productivity and employment relations.

The secret to a harmonious workplace and good employment relations, is capable frontline managers and supervisors who understand the different components that influence employee attitudes and behaviours.

This workshop is presented in-house only and is suitable for both unionised and non-unionised workplaces.

After Workshop

We allocate ‘live’ projects to teams of supervisors (based on current organisational issues). 

We then follow-up four to six weeks after the workshop and discuss the projects with each team. Duration of follow-up takes approximately two hours. 

This action creates a sense of Supervisor/Frontline Manager ownership in resolving real problems, resulting in practical and lasting solutions.
