Effective supervision is a learned skill. This interactive webinar will explore the characteristics of strong (and ineffective) supervisors and provide practical strategies to improve communication, productivity, quality and workplace safety. The session will also cover key safety responsibilities of supervisors and offer tips for conflict management. 

Additional supervisor leadership training—both in-person and virtual—is available through Dr. Rhodes. 

Intended Audience 

This session is ideal for current and emerging leaders within your organization. Safety coordinators, HR managers, engineers and technical staff are also encouraged to attend.

Instructor

This webinar will be led by Dr. Laura Helmrich‑Rhodes, SHRM‑SCP, CSP, a seasoned safety professional with more than 35 years of experience. She is celebrating her 12th year serving SMI as a safety compliance consultant. A full‑time professor in the Safety Sciences Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, she teaches courses ranging from safety communications and OSHA compliance to graduate and PhD‑level classes in legal aspects of safety, human relations, and accident investigation. She also owns Safety Geeks, LLC, maintains OSHA Authorized Instructor status in both general industry and construction, and has taught for West Virginia University’s OSHA National Resource Center since 2025. Her background includes roles with PA/OSHA Consultation and two global commercial insurance companies. Outside the classroom and consulting, she enjoys hosting gatherings at her farm, spending time outdoors, engaging in community service, and exploring the arts—and is available during summer and semester breaks to support companies with on‑site or remote safety initiatives.
