Stepping Up To Staffing And Supervision Of Church Staff

Are you stepping into unfamiliar territory where you must supervise others, or have you been supervising others for some time without a clear understanding of what you are doing? Supervision, especially in a faith-based environment, requires learning new skills—probably skills you did not learn during your professional formation. This event provides you with practical skills and tools for supervising the work of others and aligning the work of the team with the overall goals of the congregation.

Participants in this workshop will:

• Develop an understanding of supervision and performance management
• Examine the interface between covenantal and employment relationships
• Understand the importance of job description and learn how to design one
• Explore techniques for setting performance expectations
• Distinguish between three types of feedback conversations: the daily check-in, the quarterly goals update and the annual performance appraisal

• Learn to hire right, so that managing becomes easier
• Practice writing performance goals
• Learn to deal with the chronic underperformer
• Explore the process of progressive discipline, leading to termination

Students say:

• “So practical. Ms. Beaumont gets the church and culture of congregations.”
• “Exactly what I needed. Well organized in terms of time, length and content.”
• “It was very practical. I wish I had this two decades ago!”

Tuition includes workbook and copy of the book When Moses Meets Aaron: Staffing and Supervision in Congregations
