What is a supervision ?
A supervision is a regular meetings with an independent person with training, skills, and knowledge to help you to reflect on your work practice with a goal towards improvement. Professional supervision happens outside of the workplace and is a confidential relationship. At the outset, you will establish a supervision contract that includes specific goals, frequency of meeting, payment arrangements, etc. Each session (whether monthly, 3-monthly, or 6-monthly) is centered around your goals and is followed with associated “outcomes” to assist you, the supervisee, to move toward achieving your goals. Effective Supervision can be both supportive and challenging.
Good professional supervision provides people with an objective, non-judgmental, and qualified perspective, offering both support (for your successes and your failures) and skills for improving your work performance. Supervision is about taking care of you and about becoming more self-aware and skilled. Lack of supervision, on the other hand, can lead you to feel unappreciated, defensive, and burned out. This then contributes to decreased effectiveness at work and in other areas of life, increased absences from work, physical and emotional difficulties, more conflict among workmates, and numerous other problems.
Supervision make staff feel valued this can lead to a happier workforce and ensure • less staff turnover-as staff feel they are part of the company and their contributions are valued.
• less stressed/more effective staff – as people will be given opportunities to off-load information, concerns worries they may have around their job role or in their personal life
• less conflict in your workplace – issues can dealt with at an early stage and not allowed to grow into
