Effective supervisions lead to stronger teams—book now to gain practical tools that support growth, clarity, and better communication.

Supervisions and appraisals are key opportunities to support staff, build trust, and develop individual potential. When done well, they can boost confidence, morale, and performance. However, without structure or clarity, they risk becoming tick-box exercises or missed opportunities.

This one-day course helps managers, supervisors, and team leads to understand the purpose of effective supervision—and how to use it to bring out the best in others. You’ll explore how to prepare, structure, and deliver both formal and informal meetings in ways that support your team and align with organisational goals.

We’ll look at how to make supervisions meaningful, with space for reflection, support, and professional growth. You’ll also explore the role of appraisals in setting direction, celebrating progress, and encouraging accountability.

The course provides practical tips for delivering feedback, setting clear and measurable objectives, and managing different personality types. Whether you’re new to supervision or looking to refresh your approach, you’ll leave with the tools and confidence to have productive, open conversations that benefit everyone involved.

At Social Enterprise Kent CIC, we believe supervision is about more than checking progress—it’s about investing in people. Our training is designed to help you have real, honest conversations that build confidence and connection across your team.

Delivered in a supportive setting, this course includes discussion, activities, and examples drawn from real workplace situations.
