Supervisor Essentials Department

Department Overview

Department Name:	Supervisor Essentials Department
Number of Classes:	12

Department Description

Every company needs leaders in the organization to motivate people and provide direction for others. However, people aren’t born with leadership and communication skills. They often need to learn these important skills as they grow within an organization. New supervisors often require guidelines and training for effective communication, performance management tactics, and conflict resolution.

These classes cover the essential skills needed to manage people and provide effective leadership for first-time supervisors. The content is specifically geared toward a manufacturing environment, with shop-specific examples. Beginner-level classes focus on proper leadership and communication, while more advanced classes focus on conflict resolution, harassment and discrimination, and legal issues that affect supervisors.
