The development of preferred Supervisory skills rarely occurs in a short time-frame or in isolation, but is essential for an effective and productive workplace. In consultation with industry, Kinetic Group has developed a Framework upon which the recruitment, training and coaching of Supervisors can be built in order for organizations to effectively grow their future Supervisors.

Research from the Mining Industry Skills Strategy indicated that if an organisation has highly skilled Supervisors they can expect them to:

• Maintain and improve upon health and safety standards
• Motivate and energise their teams
• Make the difference between meeting production targets and missing them
• Have a significant impact on workplace culture
• Set the appropriate tone of behaviour and work
• Influence retention of staff
• Provide incentives for employment
• Disseminate key messages from management

The Foundations of the Supervisor Framework Diagram demonstrates that
training alone will not produce a highly skilled Supervisor.  It draws
attention to the major considerations an organization needs to take into
account when planning for highly skilled, productive and safe
Supervisors.
