For our Computronix employee interviews, we sit down with people from all levels of our company and ask them about their jobs, and what it’s like working for Computronix.
Laura Fairchild had been a supervisor and a project manager at a few different tech companies before she joined Computronix. She says that after she was hired, her first major challenge was “to learn the project methodology here. Computronix just does things a little bit differently.” The challenge was quickly overcome by completing tasks during the course of her job. “The first time doing something was the most difficult, and everyone’s been very great and very helpful. It’s an extremely supportive environment for project managers,” she explains.
That care and helpfulness is something that Laura has come to expect from Computronix employees, and was apparent even in her first interview. Because there’s such an emphasis on thoughtfulness and care towards employees, she found that even though she’s worked as a supervisor for many years, there were still things she needed to learn about being a supervisor at Computronix.
Fortunately, Computronix offers a Supervisor Training course, which Laura was recently part of. She was able to learn the specific roles and requirements of a supervisor at Computronix. Specifically, how supervisors are expected to support their supervisees, “caring for them, challenging them and helping them to grow and develop.” One way that supervisors can do this that really stuck with Laura is to show appreciation for supervisees – both publicly and privately.
Laura recommends the Supervisor Training course to anyone at Computronix who wants a leadership position. As she puts it, “I think if you’re going to be a supervisor at CX, you have to take this course. Even if you’ve been a supervisor for 20 years, you can still learn from this training.”
