This panel is the first in a two-part series on strategies for improved management in public health. During this recorded webinar, panelists addressed challenges faced by new managers in supervising staff during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., remote supervision). Panelists discussed ways of creating professional development opportunities and mentorship plans for and with their employees. Participants will also learn strategies to treat staff with a focus on the health and wellbeing of the whole individual, not solely the employee that comes to work.
