Suddenly a Supervisor: 11 Practical Training and Development Tips for Brand-New Front-Line Managers in California
Employer Resource Institute Audio Conference
Originally presented on Thursday, March 12, 2008
10:30 a.m. to 12:00 Noon (Pacific Time)
You've just hired (or promoted) a brand-new front-line supervisor in your workplace. Once the "Congratulations!" cake has disappeared from the break room, however, prepare yourself: The real work now begins. It's your job—as both an employer and an HR professional—to turn that raw recruit into a well-prepared manager. How can you teach new supervisors to give directions, instead of following them? Will they succeed in coaching, motivating, and even disciplining employees who were once their peers (and still their friends)? Can they focus on the bigger management picture, rather than simply doing their work and going home at night? What legal mistakes could they make that will cost you big bucks and lots of embarrassment? If your newest supervisors don't work out, the results can be very damaging. Forty percent of employees in a nationwide 2007 survey said they work for bad bosses—and many of those workers won't stick around waiting for your brand-new managers to improve on the job! Bring your new supervisors along on March 12 for this 90-minute audio conference that's designed specifically to assist California employees who are just breaking into your management ranks. Our experts will share 11 proven strategies for helping them get started on the right foot—from learning how to command respect immediately and delegate tasks effectively to administering discipline properly and avoiding common but costly legal mistakes that can trip up even their experienced peers. YOU AND YOUR NEW SUPERVISORS WILL LEARN:
What steps newly minted supervisors should take—on their first day, in the first week, and during the first month—to position themselves for success
The biggest management mistake many first-time supervisors make—and how your new leaders can avoid repeating it
How your new managers can smoothly make the transition from peer to boss
The most common legal errors that new supervisors make (from unknowingly discriminating against employees to giving out the wrong information about FMLA/CFRA leave), and how to prevent them
How you can train your new managers to document issues with employees and administer discipline effectively, so they can correct workers without making things worse
Which techniques are most effective for new supervisors to deliver constructive feedback to their workers without demoralizing them
Why good employees sometimes quit—and how your new front-line managers can help retain those workersABOUT YOUR SPEAKER:
