State and federal laws affecting the workplace are pervasive and ever-changing. Supervisors need to be aware of their rights and responsibilities under these laws\, as well as the rights and responsibilities of the employees they supervise. In this session you will be introduced to a number of legislatively-enacted and judge-made laws which should govern the way you treat\, pay\, and supervise your employees\, or at least raise your awareness level with respect to these laws. \;
\n
\nThis program is designed for the new supervisor\, one who has received limited supervisor training\, or one who needs to strengthen his or her leadership skills. \; \;Effective supervisors must possess many different qualities such as flexibility\, adaptability\, strong leadership skills\, and commitment to goals. \; Supervisors are often seen as teachers\, counselors and mentors. \;
\n
\nThrough the Supervisor Development Program at the St. Cloud Area Chamber\, we offer you seven courses in seven distinct areas that will give you the necessary tools to become a more effective supervisor. \; In order to receive the Supervisor Development certificate\, you are required to attend at least six of the seven courses offered. \; \;Five of the courses offered are required\, enabling you to choose between two elective courses to complete the series. \; \;Both electives can be selected at an additional cost of $65.
