2.4 Supervisors' Responsibilities

In general, anyone who supervises other employees has a responsibility to uphold and fairly apply all Institute policies and procedures, as well as all legal requirements. While it is impractical to provide an exhaustive list of job-specific expectations, the following list includes responsibilities that are generally expected of all supervisors:

• Demonstrate ethical standards of behavior Create an atmosphere in which diversity is accepted and all employees are treated fairly and consistently
• Ensure that employees understand what is expected of them and explain to them how to carry out their duties
• Recognize good performance, address inadequate performance, and take corrective action when necessary
• Remain current on Institute policies, procedures and news in order to inform and update employees

To be successful, supervisors should be familiar with Institute resources designed to assist with these duties. The Employee Handbook as well as this guide provide useful and basic information for supervisors and staff. For additional assistance or information, contact the Manager of Human Resources.
