Encourage your Supervisor

No matter what job or role you play in WIC, your supervisor can be an important ally in your staff’s progress.

Sit down and discuss your supervisor’s vision for PCS in your office and how you can both support one another to benefit staff. Brainstorm ways you can work together to avoid confusion from conflicting messages and lessen each other’s workloads.

Invite your supervisor to observe you working with clients, using your observation tool, to see the kinds of things you’re trying to develop in your peers. Ask him or her to take an appointment and experience the entire observation process from that perspective.
