Training Sessions

Abstract

Leaders carry a variety of responsibilities supporting people and programs, while maintaining business goals. At any given moment, supervisors are engaging people skills, managing business responsibilities, and promoting a safe and healthy work environment for employees with diverse needs. This high degree of organizing and engaging easily causes compassion fatigue, contributing to unhealthy interactions, decreasing job satisfaction for the leader and their direct reports, and risking fiscal stewardship.

Objectives

  • Describe factors that specifically factor into supervisory compassion fatigue.
  • Identify two of your own needs, goals and expectations as a leader.
  • Improve understanding of the variety of personalities and needs of others in the professional environment.
  • Define 2 new ways you can manage your own compassion fatigue in your work environment.
