Personnel Supervision in the Petroleum Industry - PSP

DESIGNED FOR

Current or soon-to-be-promoted first-line and mid-level supervisors responsible for the daily performance of a work unit and the personnel in that unit

Why would any company expend hundreds of thousands of dollars to seek, recruit, and hire the best employees then leave their development and performance to "lucky chance" through ineffective supervision or management? Unfortunately that "chance" occurs every time an employee is promoted to a supervisory position without training in the techniques and practices of effective supervision and management.

A supervisor, regardless of technical expertise, can make an error setting off an uncontrolled and disastrous chain reaction unless he/she has command of principles and practices leading to employee effectiveness, productivity, and teamwork.

The first-line and mid-level supervisor has more direct effect on employees and the productivity of a work group than any other single entity in the organization. This course increases the confidence and productivity of supervisors who may be scientific or technical specialists, but have minimal training in the science and art of supervision. Skills in human relations, communication, motivation, and leadership are essential tools for the supervisor/manager. This course provides techniques enabling supervisors to efficiently use one of the greatest resources a company has, its people.

This highly interactive learning program will assist you in expanding your options for supervising.  You will explore different concepts of supervising and leading others and applying your new skills in real world applications.
