| Summary: | The job of supervisor of direct support staff in the human services is one of the most important yet unheralded professions. Supervisors are charged with ensuring support staff deliver quality services for people with disabilities whose quality of life is heavily dependent on how well those services are provided. Supervisors must ensure staff receive necessary training in their job duties, are actively supported to stay motivated to work proficiently and, at times, effectively assisted to improve their work performance. The purpose of The Supervisor's Guidebook is to describe the existing evidence-based approach to supervision. Description of the approach is supplemented with practical suggestions based on the combined experience encompassing over 100 years of supervising staff performance in human services. The intent is to provide supervisors with detailed information about tried and tested means of promoting diligent and proficient staff performance and to do so in a way that maximizes staff enjoyment with their work. It is sincerely hoped the book fulfills this purpose for the reader. |
