For SCL Supervisors

Supervisors have an important role in facilitating a workplace culture of respect and belonging, inspiring a shared vision, and ensuring excellence in our work. It is widely accepted that experiences with one’s direct supervisor is the top reason staff choose to stay in or leave an organization. We owe it to all our staff in SCL to have highly skilled and empowered supervisors to help the division as a whole reach its fullest potential. The HR Consultant for Organizational Support serves as the key consultative partner for leadership and unit managers in the areas of organizational design, staffing plans, position management, job classification, compensation strategies, and personnel budgetary impacts. Having the right team at the right time is critical to our operational success, and the HR Consultant works to help managers ensure optimal organizational structure, accurately defined job expectations, effective labor usage, and active performance management throughout the organization.
