This includes a focus on providing guidance for coaching... and supportive performance and conduct management; supporting managers and supervisors in obtaining an advanced understanding of managerial duties and implicit bias; better understanding the complexities of Agency programs and needs of our stakeholders to generate creative solutions to workplace issues; and managing employee and labor relations data to identify trends and emerging trouble spots to address issues and create a more productive, fair, and equitable workplace for all employees.

In May 2022, SFHSA implemented the Supportive Supervision Toolkit (Toolkit) as a practical guide filled with information and resources for managers and supervisors to better support Agency employees throughout the employment life cycle. The Toolkit is designed to encourage a supportive, collaborative, and fair workplace culture. It seeks to empower supervisors and managers to set clear, consistent, and fair performance standards for all employees, bring empathy and collaboration in their interactions with employees through comprehensive performance coaching and feedback, and support employees throughout their employment life cycle.

The Agency’s supervisors and managers need high levels of support to achieve the workplace culture envisioned by the Toolkit and supported by the Agency’s Racial Equity Action Plan, through training, one-on-one coaching, empowerment, and ongoing recommendations for improvement.

Therefore, the Principal People Relations and Support Partner will be tasked with overseeing the successful implementation of the Toolkit and recommending ongoing shifts in managerial practices that positively impact the workplace culture.
