Supervisory Series Development Path: Fundamentals – AM (Formerly Supervisory Series I)

March 7, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

$1080

Managers and supervisors regardless of tenure, industry, or organization are challenged daily to build positive relationships with employees, hold them accountable, and drive business results. That’s why it’s essential that they have a strong and effective skill set.

Rooted in years of research and data-driven insights, ERC’s Supervisory Series Development Path equips supervisors and managers with the 10 most critical skills and competencies to successfully tackle challenges and lead others.

The Fundamentals track includes the first six modules of the series, which focus on the role of the supervisor, communication skills, conflict resolution, performance management, employment law, and employee engagement and retention. Course lectures are delivered in a practical, “real world” format by facilitators who are experienced with supervision.

During these comprehensive courses, participants will gain fresh insights into their roles via self-assessments, group discussion, and opportunities for practice, and will also receive job aids and resources to apply the skills and implement the best practices they learn.

The Advanced Track includes the final four courses of the Supervisory Series Development Path. Supervisors who complete the Fundamentals Track receive their Supervisory Proficiency Certificate, and those who complete Fundamentals and Advanced Tracks receive their Supervisory Mastery Certificate.

Courses in both the Fundamentals and Advanced Tracks can be purchased individually.
