Confidentiality

Confidentiality is essential in a managerial role. Confidential workplace information can generally be broken down into three categories: employee information and circumstances, management information, and business information. In the wrong hands, confidential information can be misused and result in lawsuits for the employer, culture and morale erosion, and a loss of employee trust, confidence, and loyalty. These outcomes always result in a loss of productivity.

Communication

Open communication is key. The Service Supervisor is the communication link between the front-line and management. The Service Supervisor disseminates information to the team and forwards information in a timely manner. The Service Supervisor works closely with team members to resolve issues and reports as required on performance, issues, and resolutions.
