Supervisor Toolkit

Welcome to the Supervisor Toolkit! Bookmark this page for easy access to the policies, procedures, and processes you need to know to excel at management here at UMD. We’ve organized this around the employee life cycle so you can support people before they even get here to their departure from the University and all the stops in between. Be sure to take advantage of other resources including the T.E.R.P. for New Supervisors orientation program and Excellence in Supervision training.
