What is supervision at work?
Workplace supervision involves ongoing professional learning and development, where people have a dedicated time to reflect personally and enhance their knowledge, skills, and expertise through regular support and collaboration with another professional.
It’s also a confidential space to share personal concerns and vulnerabilities focusing on support and preventing burnout in an environment of trust offering the opportunity to offload in complete confidence. To ensure people consider their own wellbeing as well as personal and professional development.
In this dedicated time for discussion, we celebrate successes, identify areas for improvement, and explore exciting growth opportunities. It’s a way to ensure we keep doing our best work and learn valuable lessons from our experiences.
What are the benefits of supervision at work?
Group or individual supervision is all about being proactive and staying ahead of any issues before they become unmanageable. It may be that as a manager, you are supporting colleagues through challenging times that can take a toll on your own wellbeing , whether that’s hearing a traumatic experience or delivering bad news. Over time, this can lead to stress and burnout.
When done routinely, supervision supports good working relationships and improved communication, which in turn can ease workplace stress.
We offer different supervision models, to ensure a tailored, supportive environment for your staff’s needs, helping them thrive in their roles.
