The local supervisor sets the tone of the work group. Their influence impacts on team culture and the attitudes and behaviours of individuals. These effects are ultimately seen in business metrics such as safety performance and productivity.
Here are five ways supervisors can inspire and motivate their teams:
1. Leadership – set the standards for safety performance and productivity
2. Culture – balance concern for the task with concern for the people
3. Positivity – passion and enthusiasm inspires the team
4. Coaching – encourage everyone to develop their knowledge and skills
5. Wellbeing – protect and promote physical and mental health
