A series of mini courses in the basics of management, information systems, and personnel, the workshop was developed for tribal health program managers. The workshop aimed to provide: supervisory management training which was relevant to the need of tribal health supervisors; demonstrable evidence of understanding and application of new skills; the opportunity for college credit. In Phase One, Community Health Representative (CHR) Supervisors reviewed basic principles of management in lectures, small group discussions, and case studies. For this phase, CHR Supervisors were to develop a program plan according to given instructions. In the second phase, CHR Supervisors dealt with financial management, health statistics, data management and presentation, program evaluation, community relations, and motivation. The Phase Two challenge was to price the plan submitted in Phase One, "beef-up" the plan with supportive documentation, build in mechanisms for evaluation, and sell it to their communities. The final Phase dealt with the supervisor's role and responsibilities as managers of the work force. Topics included: employee counseling and career development, employee discipline, handling of employee grievances, and tribal personnel systems. A model personnel merit system was outlined to familiarize supervisors with the components of personnel administration. Among the conclusions drawn from the workshop was that recognition of achievement was an incentive that should be built into any training effort. (NQ)
