Employee Productivity is a 15-minute online course that trains supervisors and managers on effective supervision techniques for improving employee performance, including coaching, documentation, and discipline. It is designed for new and existing supervisors, team leads, and managers responsible for employee performance and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
According to Gallup's 2025 State of the Global Workplace report, global employee engagement dropped to just 21% in 2024, costing the world economy an estimated $438 billion in lost productivity. Manager engagement fell from 30% to 27% during the same period, and Gallup's research attributes 70% of the variance in team engagement directly to the manager. Research from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business found that effective supervisors can improve employee productivity by as much as 25%. Despite this, fewer than half of managers worldwide report receiving any formal training for their supervisory role.
This course equips your supervisors with practical techniques for improving employee productivity through effective leadership. Your supervisors will learn the core qualities of good supervision - serving as a link between employees and upper management, modeling expected behaviors, and balancing flexibility with fairness. The course covers essential skills including coaching employees, observing and documenting performance, applying consistent discipline, and communicating workplace policies clearly. These foundational supervisory competencies help your organization close the gap between untrained managers and the engaged, productive teams they have the potential to build.
While no federal regulation mandates supervisor productivity training specifically, the business case for investing in it is well documented. Gallup's 2025 research found that companies providing training to engaged employees are 17% more productive and 21% more profitable. The same research shows that training managers in coaching skills raised their performance scores from 20% to 28%, with direct measurable improvements at the team level. From a legal risk perspective, supervisors who lack training in documentation, consistent policy application, and progressive discipline expose their employers to wrongful termination claims, discrimination lawsuits, and unfair labor practice charges. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Department of Labor (DOL) both scrutinize employer practices around performance management and discipline. Investing in supervisor training reduces these risks while directly improving the productivity metrics that drive business performance.
