I have been a BB supervisor for 15 years. One thing that has worked for me is to include the staff in the changes that you intend to make. Tell them your ideas and get their feedback. Sometimes they have good ideas that you may not have thought of. Another thing that has worked for me is to be a team player. Let the staff know that you are approachable. Always be willing to help when they really need you. If you show yourself as a team player, you will always have their help when you need to get projects done. " Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." As far as your family life, make sure you make time to enjoy your family. Your toddler will soon be in first grade and you will look back and wonder where did the time go. Do not take work home with you, if at all possible. Once you clock out, your time should be dedicated to you and your family. I wish I had done this. I tried so hard in the beginning to do the impossible and I have so many regrets. For your CAP accreditation, take each checklist question and answer it with references from your SOP's, documents, and records. Have this documentation ready and available for your inspector. It will show that you are prepared and the inspector will not be so eager to find a problem area. If your facility is AABB accredited then you should be in good shape for a CAP inspection. I hope all goes well for you! You made a great choice and it appears that you have a good support team. Welcome to BB talk. This site offers great information!
