Learning and Development for Your Staff

While employees are responsible for their own development, supervisors have a great impact. To make an impact, nurture and support on-the-job learning through the following:

  • Watch and track your staff's development through regular 1:1 discussion.
  • Suggest opportunities and approve development requests.
  • Arrange for coverage and support in managing your staff's workload while they’re away.
