A vital contributor to our organization's success lies in the teamwork and the relationships between supervisors and employees. This dynamic can have a substantial impact on job engagement, individual and team performance, satisfaction, and retention.  This program will provide crucial learning and networking to all levels of supervisors as it pertains to people-first leading within the culture and context of UNT system-wide. The intended outcome of this program is to continually develop supervisory skills that have a positive impact on our employees, students, and the greater community. Those who commit to this program and its requirements enjoy the honor of calling themselves an “Accountable Supervisor”.

Program Objectives:

• Provide supervisors with focused and critical skills applicable to any level, expertise, or service time.
• Encourage the ongoing learning and development of our supervisor population.
• Create a community of supervisors for networking, connection, and shared learning.

The participant's supervisor and the participant commit to the time involved for the employee to participate in the program. This will be twelve and a half hours (12.5) in-person initially (within a cohort) plus eight additional hours (8) each year as a member of our Accountable Supervisor Community (ASC). Dates for the cohort sessions are found within the program catalog.

The participant's supervisor will champion their participation. The participant's supervisor will provide coaching to their employee (the participant) on what they are learning in the program.

As such, the participant must share with their supervisor the coaching tip sheet. This sheet will provide a list of all the session topics and helpful coaching questions to help build dialogue between the participant and their direct supervisor.

If you would like clarification on the AccoUNTable Supervisor Program and its requirements, please email the cohort you are interested in to Human Resources at HRAdministration@untsystem.edu.
