Event Description
Title
Effective Supervision Practices for Advancing Equity and Inclusion: Two-Part Webinar
Presenters
Cliff Jones, Consultant Partner, Capacity Building Partnerships
Employees are your organization’s greatest resource. Effective support and direction for your staff, as well as understanding ways to work across differences will help create an environment where people can fully contribute and advance your organization’s mission and goals. Cliff Jones, Consultant Partner at Capacity Building Partnerships, offers a holistic approach to supervision. He has helped hundreds of supervisors in nonprofit settings develop skills and supervision methods that really make a difference.
In this two-part series, we will explore the most essential elements of a supervisor’s role with a diversity, equity and inclusion lens. We will offer insight into the specific challenges of supervision in the nonprofit environment to help you identify concrete goals and changes that you can implement with individual staff and teams. We will examine strategies to address unclear expectations between staff and supervisor, ambivalence about authority, low pay, and heavy workloads.
Part One introduces three supervision frameworks with a lens of advancing equity and inclusion. Part Two focuses on core supervision skills, application, and practice.
In this two-part series, participants will gain insight into:
- Four key functions of supervision
- Building a feedback rich culture
- Strategies to get good people to stay
- Dealing with staff performance difficulties
- Recognizing the impact of cultural/style differences in supervision
- Organizational systems to support supervision
Whether you have the title of supervisor or not, this workshop will help you develop the techniques to build staff ownership, encourage joint problem-solving, and help staff experience success and satisfaction in working together. “Effective Supervision” focuses on practical applications to build upon the supervision skills you've already developed or are beginning to develop and learn approaches to increase equity and inclusion in your workplace to make a difference in your organization.
Who Should Attend?
This session is designed for both new and experienced supervisors in nonprofit organizations. The session will include techniques and strategies for program managers, unit leaders, supervisors, and lead workers.
