ELC Thing 20 – What does a supportive workplace look like?
To enable effective leadership at all levels, employers must create a supportive environment where social service workers can use and develop their own leadership skills to the best of their ability. It is crucial that your employer values and supports the development of your leadership capabilities as well as those of managers and of the people who use your service, their families and carers.
This badge is awarded to people who have:
- worked through Thing 20: What does a supportive workplace look like?
- provided evidence of their learning through reflective writing.
This is part of the 23 Things ELC Leadership programme.
To earn this badge you must:
- work through Thing 20 of 23 Things ELC Leadership
- in at least 200 words, write an account that covers your thoughts on how you think you could use some or all of the six organisational capabilities to support continuous learning and leadership development within your workplace.
