10 New Supervisory Skills Courses in the Philippines

Effective supervisory skills training aims to help you build your skills in your role as a supervisor. Supervisory skills training provides leaders an opportunity to build and nurture a team, contribute to the success of your organization, and develop your own personal and professional skills.

Supervisors are key change agents in an organization. You help shape both the stakeholder and the employee experience.

Step-Up Supervisory Skills Training (Modules)

As a supervisor, you have the opportunities to build and nurture a team, contribute to setting and achieving goals for your work area. You will need to develop your own personal and professional skills.

Every organization defines for itself the core competencies of supervisors. A supervisor in one company may need more advanced skills than a manager in another.

Among the many competencies supervisors ought to learn, I picked the competencies that can help you step-up.

Training Outcomes

Ideally, you set the success measures of your supervisory skills training. When you are clear about your objectives and your baselines, you will see your success when you get there.

Based on experience, the Step-Up Supervisory Skills training will provide you the following results.

• Understand and perform the roles and responsibilities of a manager/supervisor
• Motivate staff through effective interpersonal relations
• Enforce discipline professionally in the workplace.
• Delegate work efficiently and ensure its timely completion.
• Give feedback to staff in a way that builds performance.
• Communicate better with superiors and staff.
• Use adaptive leadership.

Why is supervisor training important?

The most obvious answer: most supervisors are ill-equipped for the job.

Many supervisors accept their new roles with great energy and enthusiasm. A promotion is an affirmation that they’re doing great in their previous jobs. Unfortunately, many of them end up frustrated and angry.

Many supervisors are not prepared for the job. Though they have the motivation to perform the job, they lack the ability to deliver. A well-design supervisor training will inspire and equip new supervisors.

Let me tell you why.

As a supervisor, you lead other people. As a leader, you must remember that your employee’s success is your success. You are required to do the tasks that your subordinates do, however you are also responsible for getting things done – and making better things happen – through others.

So, after a decade of training supervisors, I decided to webinars and virtual workshops on supervisor training. I have not yet scheduled the dates. But this guide will give you a quick start.

Benefits of Supervisory Skills Training

Supervisor training will help supervisors quickly learn and immediately apply the people skills of supervising. Most supervisors fail because they have poor people-handling skills. Here are some of the most visible benefits.

Training Options

There are three ways we can deliver your Step-Up Supervisory Skills training programs. The new normal requires that we keep our people safe while learning.

1. Online Course

Online courses allow self-paced learning. As a supervisor, you can enroll in the supervisory skills courses that I offer to the public.

A training manager may enroll all supervisors in the program.

A better alternative is to tailor-fit your online course to the need of your supervisors. To ensure that they build new skills, you can require action learning projects. You may also put into the mix some coaching sessions with me.

2. Webinar and Virtual Workshops

The webinar is fast-paced learning. Supervisors can have just-in-time learning in 120 minutes or less.

You can bring in more people to participate too.

The virtual workshop also allows fast-paced learning. Unlike a webinar, a virtual workshop involves more activities for practice and discussion. It is best when you have less than 15 participants.

3. Live Workshops

We will be able to meet face to face soon. But I believe we can do this for a fewer number of people. Covid-19 will be with us for some more months or years. We’ve got to play it safe.

If you plan to bring Awesome Supervisory Skills to your organization, we may have online courses and webinars today; then, we can work on live workshops later.

Combining the training options is what I recommend companies to do in the new normal.

Tailor-Fit for Success

You can design Step-up Supervisory Skills with action learning projects and coaching sessions. The project and coaching session ensure that you transfer learning to application.

The outline above is for demonstration purposes only. All of the information I included in the outline is important only when you need them. When we customize the program for you, we will zero-in on vital behaviors where you can get the most advantage.
