Common Myths That Affect Good Supervision

This 1-day class taught by the staff of the Dept. of Civil Service examines a number of harmful, common myths that exist in the state government workforce.  These myths negatively impact productivity and morale.  Belief in them can result in supervisors who feel powerless to do a good job.  Participants will identify these myths and work with them in common hypothetical situations.  Participants will then learn specific courses of actions they can apply to correct behavior resulting from these false beliefs. A few of the myths that will be discussed in class include:  "A state employee can't be fired;" "Merit increases are automatic;" "All employees must be treated the same;" "Employees can take leave whenever they wish;" plus many others.  This class is open to all supervisors and managers.
