Ideas to Reality: Essential Skills for New Âé¶¹Éç Supervisors

“A training program with a twistâ€

Supervisors’ everyday communications, actions and interactions with their staff have a significant impact on workplace culture, employee engagement and overall organizational performance and wellness. The Essential Skills for New Âé¶¹Éç Supervisors program designed by Organizational Development under the umbrella of My Healthy Workplace, aims to build and support the managerial capacity and network of Âé¶¹Éç’sÌýNew Supervisors.

The Essential Skills Program provides a rich learning experience with an effective hybrid model including Structured Learning Sessions and Learning Circles to tap into fully exploit the power of experiential learning.

The 70:20:10 model developed and tested by researchers confirms that adults tend to learn through the three following types of activities:

  • Experience (70%) learning and developing through their day-to-day tasks, challenges and practice.
  • Exposure (20%) learning and developing with and through others from informal coaching, exploiting personal networks and other collaborative and co-operative actions
  • Education (10%) learning and developing through structured courses and formal training programs

We are excited to be launching a second cohort this summer, this program is open to all those who have been hired into or promoted to a supervisory role since January 2019.

Testimonials from previous attendees:

“I liked the broad range of topics, which touched on many aspects of our day-to-day activities as Supervisors. Enjoyed, the introduction to the various resources available, it also increased our range of networking with cross-departmental contacts. I definitely acquired new tools for my developmental tool belt.â€

"I really enjoyed the learning circles, getting a chance to talk with other managers in small groups. I also like the fact that we were always with the same group of people in the courses - it gives you a chance to really get to know peopleâ€
