Supervisors' Note: (applies to managers and supervisors and military supervisors of civilians)
Supervisors and managers are the nexus between Government policy and action, and the link between management and employees. Effective supervision increases motivation, clarifies expectations, and strengthens organizational performance. To build and sustain the skills required, supervisors (military and civilian) of civilian employees must complete initial and recurring mandatory training.
While the listed requirements represent the minimum training standards, supervisors are highly encouraged to pursue further professional development, including leadership programs, coaching, and experiential learning.
