Supervision – a supporting part of responsible professions
Supervision is a professional consulting service that helps professionals in responsible positions achieve long-term success and balance. In positions where every decision and action affects people and organizations, supervision can provide support that helps resolve complex situations, prevent burnout, and develop a high-quality and positive work culture.
The goal of supervision is to provide space and tools to:
- understand the basics of human psychology and the functioning of organizations;
- analyze and reflect on work challenges, including interpersonal issues, one's role and impact;
- maintain and develop the mental and emotional well-being of an employee, team or organization.
How to choose a suitable supervisor?
The effectiveness of supervision depends largely on the competence of the supervisor and their working style. Some important questions to ask yourself:
- Does the supervisor have professional training that meets the requirements of the professional association? (In Estonia, mainly ANSE standards)
- What is their experience as both a supervisor and a worker? Although the supervisor does not have to be a specialist in the same field, it is important that they have experience in the labor market, which brings practical understanding and empathy.
- Do their personality and values fit with the culture of your organization and industry?
Supervision does not offer quick fixes, but is a long-term process that aims to increase self-awareness and develop problem-solving skills. It supports the development of employees and organizations, helping to find new approaches and develop greater job satisfaction.
