Supervisors are involved in the day to day management of their departments, work groups, and teams. It is important for all supervisors to create an environment where feedback is routinely provided as well as solicited, through formal and informal performance counseling. Feedback, counseling, and evaluating employees is an important part of the supervisor’s job. Failing to address an employee’s performance deficiencies can lead to more serious issues and decreased morale. Timely action is necessary to maintain a productive working environment.
