Listening is a skill that can benefit employees at all levels in a company, and active listening means you truly hear what someone is communicating, rather than preparing your next
comment while the speaker is still talking.
Learn to listen
When you motivate and inspire, you’re making personal connections with people and providing an example of moral behavior and skills.
Motivate and inspire
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication goes beyond simply having a conversation and includes using positive body language, setting clear expectations, being honest, and helping employees reach upper
management.
Communicate
Feedback is an effective tool for supervisors to use for motivation. Giving feedback requires good
communication and a thorough understanding of an employee’s performance and who they are as a person.
Provide feedback
An available supervisor can act as a confidante for
their employees. Supervisors can set clear office hours and relay them to the team and include an email address or phone number for questions or concerns
during the workday.
Be available
Making employee development a priority can benefit supervisors and employees alike. When employees excel and reach their goals or improve their skills, they become a more valuable asset to the company.
Focus on employee development
The supervisor facilitates that improvement via honest feedback and a supportive environment. Employee development can include:
- Increasing job-related skills
- Offering education and training opportunities
- Improving teamwork
- Improving punctuality
- Developing honesty, respect and communication skills
- Developing strengths
- Planning the employee for future roles
- Helping others with mental health issues
- Encouraging hard work, while balancing self-care
Rewards can help inspire employees to thrive in their careers. A reward can come in many forms, including monetary raises, paid time off, or more growth opportunities.
Reward achievements
A supervisor with analytical skills can look at employee strengths and weaknesses to identify problem areas and strengthen a company’s core values.

and stay alive. The more awake a worker is, the less likely he or she is to get hurt. If you are unsure how to operate equipment or perform a task, ask your supervisor. Don’t guess and muddle
through. Make sure you know in advance the correct, safe way
to do it.
STAY ALERT
work clothes should fit properly. Anything that can catch in machinery or trip you up is hazardous. Wear protective clothing
and equipment as required.
WEAR THE RIGHT CLOTHES
if you need a hammer, get a hammer. It may be handier to use a pair of pliers, wrench or screw driver, but you are more likely to get injured.
USE THE RIGHT TOOLS
Lifting takes more than muscle; it is an art. Don’t try to show how strong you are; you may end up in a hospital. Get help to handle anything that is too heavy or cumbersome for you.
LEARN HOW TO LIFT
Practical jokes and horseplay can be dangerous, especially around heavy machinery. If you feel the urge to
play, resist it until after work.
DON’T BE A PRANKSTER
Good housekeeping reduces hazards in the workplace or your home. Always put away tools when they are not in
use. Keep the floors clean, pick up scraps and wipe up spills. A slip or trip can be fatal.
BE TIDY
Never fail to report accidents, defective equipment, and or unsafe
conditions.
REPORTING IS IMPORTANT
if you’re hurt - even if it seems minor. Neglect of an injury may lead to serious infection, weeks of lost time, and possibly
permanent injury.
GET FIRST AID IMMEDIATELY
If you have an idea you believe will reduce accidents, tell your
supervisor about it. Set an example by obeying safety rules. Cooperate with your safety committee.
BACK YOUR SAFETY PROGRAM
Next to sheer carelessness, shortcuts are probably the biggest
killer of all. To save a minute or two, you may lose a lifetime. Whatever you are doing, if you are not doing it safely, you are not doing it right
NEVER TAKE A CHANCE
