Who benefits from peer group supervision?

To systematically reflect on the work life is important for those who need to manage complex situations, diverse challenges, and navigate different relationships or interactions.

There is a huge variety of professions that benefit from peer group supervision. They all have in common that professional cooperation, interactions, and communication with employees, customers, patients, or clients are absolutely essential to their jobs. This includes for example many positions in companies, public authorities or administrations, as well as psychosocial or educative areas such as schools or universities.

Peer group supervision is suitable for employees who experience situations with challenging encounters and interactions, decision-making dilemmas, conflicting goals, or role conflict almost on a daily basis. Those situations need to be treated carefully and necessitate well-thought actions. Structured peer group supervision promotes the skills to handle those challenging situations well and increases the quality of reflections on those with the help of various perspectives.
