Supervision:
Quality supervision directly contributes to employee satisfaction and the desire to stay on the job. Supervisors also play a role in how staff experience the organization as a diverse and inclusive workplace. The resources in this section provide examples of how to help supervisors as they build clinical skills, offer emotional and social support, provide coaching and feedback, and promote a healthy team culture and climate. These resources can help programs support supervisors as they model a commitment to best practice and policies, such as meaningfully engaging families and diligently searching for family and kin or adhering to laws, such as the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).
