First Line Supervisory Development Seminar

Event Date: Tuesday, November 7, 2023 to Wednesday, November 8, 2023


 
 
 

The first line supervisor is the bridge between the line staff and management. The first line supervisor is the person who communicates with both of these groups on a continuous basis. It is the first line supervisor who is first able to sense the morale of the line staff, find a policy or procedure that is not working as written, improve incorrect staffing patterns, or to observe changes.  It is important for management to understand that their first line supervisors are the group that keeps the company performing at its highest level.
