Question
Can non-supervisory employees participate in a training designated specifically for supervisors?
Answer
It is up to the agency to allow or not allow non-supervisory employees to attend training designated specifically for supervisors. Some agencies limit attendance to supervisors based on the content and need. For instance, if a supervisor would feel more comfortable discussing topics solely with other supervisors, then an agency might limit attendance.
In addition, some agencies open attendance to non-supervisory employees based on space availability, and often it is limited to employees in the team leader role.
