Staff Development and Supervision
Staff is your agency's greatest asset. They not only accomplish the work of the agency, they are — or should be — champions of your programs and leaders in the community and are often your most effective marketing tool. Staff development is a multi-layered approach building on growing the people potential within an organization and includes training, follow up and ongoing support in the form of coaching, mentoring and ongoing feedback. Effective staff management involves vision, skills, incentives, resources and action planning.
Effective staff development and supervision requires that managers are experts in conflict management, team building, interviewing and hiring, performance management, and managing differences.
Providing staff with professional supervision can:
- prevent problems before they begin;
- ensure that staff have the tools and knowledge they need to do their jobs;
- save money by reducing turnover;
- achieve a high level of buy-in for the mission and work of the agency, and
- communicate to staff that they are valued and the organization is committed to their professional and personal growth.
