As a supervisor, you play a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of your team. However, leading by example and influencing your team's safety behaviors can be a daily challenge. This interactive course is designed to equip you with techniques to communicate expectations and accountability to your employees as well as coach for improvement and use recognition programs successfully.
