The TWI Job Relations (JR) Poster describes the four steps of Job Relations based on the tried and tested Training Within Industry (TWI) methodology. The TWI JR program teaches supervisors how to evaluate and take proper actions to handle and to prevent people problems. It establishes the foundations of good relations. The poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF and in editable PPTX, the poster can be easily printed on an A3 or A4-sized paper from an office copier machine and displayed on employee workstations, or distributed together with your workshop handouts. The TWI JR Poster complements the 'TWI Program: Job Relations (JR) Training' presentation materials and the TWI JR Pocket Cards. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your supervisory/leadership skills presentation. Contents in the TWI JR poster include: 1. What Is The TWI Job Relations Program 2. Foundations of Good Relations 3. The Four Steps of Job Relations 4. How To Get Feelings & Opinions
