Supervisor Toolkit
The Office of Human Resources has created resources designed to equip you with the tools necessary for successful supervision. As a Supervisor, you play a key role in shaping a positive work culture centered on well-being and high performance, grounded in the values of trust, empowerment, and collaboration. Your approach and actions have a direct impact on how your team interacts with one another. When these interactions are rooted in trust, empowerment, and collaboration, employees are more likely to feel psychologically supported and perform at their best.
The Human Resources team is available to assist supervisors with understanding Utica’s policies and procedures, the role of the supervisor, and the importance of having a partnership with HR.
