Attendees will learn ‘what you’re up against’ in today’s work environment. This is often not as simple as it was a few short years ago.

‘Supervisors Responsibility’ covers a wide range of human interactions. Since the employer-employee relationship is the dividing line of who does what, it is incumbent on the employer to properly define and fulfill their responsibility.

The concept of ‘agency’ is the operative term for the function of supervisors. We will explore the role of the employers ‘agents’ and examine Best Practices for helping you achieve the best outcome in running the business.

We will discuss a range of direct and tangential areas of responsibility, since many supervisors and managers wear multiple ‘hats’. Understanding the order of prominence among these designations is highly important.

The benefits of having a well defined process for supervisor selection, promotion, development and incremental responsibility will be discussed. The down-side of doing little or nothing with supervisory engagement will also be discussed.

Engrained into the US work culture is the direct and unrelenting responsibility of ‘The Employer’ for assuring the well-being of their employees. This concept has been microscopically defined over the years in Tort Law and Professional Liability cases, at the federal and state levels.

This concept of organizational responsibility is heavily reinforced by US Government agencies, notably the Department of Labor. There are defined penalties for non-compliance- for example in the ‘Anti-Discrimination’ Whistleblower, Anti-retaliation language on the OSHA Poster.

This concept of responsibility is also embodied throughout the fabric of society. More so now than ever before thanks to Social Media, Influencers, digital avatars, etc. The work environment itself has changed, with tele-work and Virtual Meetings now replacing the water-cooler/Conference Room.

Most large companies devote entire departments and a few Vice Presidents to detailing the role of a ‘supervisor’. The role and responsibility of the employer has morphed over time into something akin to ‘Adult Daycare’, like it or not.

This webinar will look at some of the most prominent operative factors in this equation, and define the norms in the Responsibility and Accountability architecture of management, namely the Supervisor.

Because most business in the US is classified as ‘small business’, very often the luxury of having a system or process for supervisory selection and development is informal, at best. We will describe some of the easiest and most effective ways to bring a supervisor up to speed on their responsibilities. Some of these techniques are surprisingly simple.
