Who are you? The evolving role of Job Supporter – Part 1

The role of the Job Supporter can be confusing for everyone.

This session will explore the first four phases of The Seven Phase Sequence for Balancing Naturalness and Individual Needs. We’ll explore

  • How the job supporter devotes time to understanding the culture of the business
  • How new employees typically learn job tasks
  • How to identify allies within the business with the idea of honouring typical and valued ways of learning as much as possible.

All of this sets the stage for everyone to understand the role of the job supporter. No more “Who are you?”
