Private trainings can be customized in topics and duration for your operations.

Field supervisors, mayordomos, and crew leaders are the front line of your management team. These leaders can ensure quality production, compliance with company policies, and keep your operation running smoothly and efficiently. However, inadequately trained supervisors can provoke significant legal and financial risks, poor quality work, higher injury rates, increased worker turnover, and costly regulatory penalties and lawsuits.


Protect your business by investing in professional development for your key staff! Ensure they understand critical regulations, and have the personnel management skills to enforce policies, foster a safe work environment, and promote worker satisfaction and retention.


Through this highly interactive training supervisors will practice skills and gain knowledge on topics most important to their success and that of your business including:

  • Supervisor Roles & Responsibilities

  • Communication & Conflict Management

  • Wage & Hour Regulations

  • Federal Requirements & MSPA

  • Fundamentals of Unionization Issues
  • New Employee Onboarding & Training

Comments from Participants

"Excellent presentations. I appreciate the professionalism and performance of the presenters, a lot was learned."

"I am going to make the most of what I learned in these two days because it was a lot that I took with me and I learned from you. When my boss sees that I am a better person I will gladly tell him it was thanks to you."

"I commend them for their great preparation and willingness they showed to help us be better supervisors in the company and with personnel management."

"I learned a lot more than I knew and I think it will help me be a better supervisor."


From Employers

"He has improved his communication skills both with people above and below him in the organizational hierarchy and how he approaches conflict."


"She has communicated with me several times after attending this program. She was very impressed with the trainer's ability to communicate on a level she could understand. Now she has a much better understanding of how responsibilities come back to them as supervisors."


"He takes training and communication with his employees very seriously now. I believe the workers enjoy working with him since he does communicate better since the program."


From Workers Supervised by ASDP Participants

"The truth is that he is a very good mayordomo and has learned a lot, that means that the program is very useful. One learns a lot because we all improve with mayordomos, so there is a lot of learning in agriculture." 

"I feel more satisfied when I have a question about work or safety because now he answers us with more respect, explains more patiently and stops to ask if we understand."

Employers, participants, and the workers they supervise report great value and satisfaction. Participants showed significant improvement in understanding their role as supervisory staff, legal and safety regulations, and how to implement them effectively.

Participants were asked to rate their knowledge and understanding before completing the program and after.

Three months after the ASDP, employers were asked to rate the performance of participants as compared to prior to the program.
