Yes, supervisors do have responsibilities regarding implementation of HRD programs such as training, orientation, mentoring and career development. Especially in smaller organizations, there may be no training department, so supervisors have to carry out the HRD responsibilities.
Supervisors need to coordinate with the HRD professionals in following ways:
• Supervisors need assistance of HRD professionals for imparting functional and behavior training for the employees.
• Company's goals and strategies are designed by the top-level management but are executed by the HRD professionals. Supervisors generally explain the goals and strategies to the HRD Professionals. Furthermore, experts provide necessary guidance to implement them.
• Supervisors mainly coordinate with the HRD professionals to manage the change process, making employees aware about the change and motivate them to accept the change.
