SUPERVISING TRAINEES
Research shows 60% of trainees do not feel satisfied with the level of supervision/mentorship they receive from their leaders.
THE SUPERVISOR AND THE TRAINEE
A key theme throughout the SRA’s report on workplace culture is the integral role supervisors play in shaping mental health culture. Echoing research by Gallup and Deloitte, the SRA report also suggests that subpar supervision not only contributes to a culture of poor mental health, but one that undermines engagement, retention and, ultimately, the profitability and competitiveness of your firm.
Crucially, the report also highlights the regulatory consequences firms may face if they are deemed to fall short in certain areas related to poor supervision and workplace culture.
With 60% of juniors still reporting they are not satisfied with the level of supervision they're receiving, and 79% of leaders feeling increased pressure to deliver, it’s clear the trainee/supervisor relationship continues to have consequences for all involved.
