Supervisor Training
Human Services Supervisor Training
Dr. David Green of Hope Transfusion Services trains the supervisors who hold frontline teams together, so good DSPs stay and the people you serve get stable care.
Why supervisors decide who stays
Turnover among direct support professionals runs as high as 70%. Most people leave a supervisor before they leave a job. When supervisors are trained and supported, DSPs feel valued and teams become stable.
What the training covers
- Frontline supervision: leading direct support professionals day to day
- Keeping good staff: retention strategy and techniques that reduce turnover
- Building connection and trust between supervisors and DSPs
- Team building across shifts and programs
- Quality management and regulatory compliance for supervisors
- Risk management, including conducting investigations
