Supervisor Enrichment Program

A skilled supervisor can improve employee morale, decrease turnover, and help reduce grievances and litigation. The SEP provides training you need in order to transition from a non-supervisory role to that of a supervisor with responsibility for developing staff. It also offers strategies and techniques to make you more effective in completing your day-to-day supervisory responsibilities.

As a result of completing the SEP, supervisors will understand the various responsibilities pertaining to supervision within the CWU environment. The SEP covers key supervisory competencies presented in a format that allows participants time to absorb what they've learned and to try out new skills before continuing on to the next session.
