Leadership Skills for HR Managers

Leadership Skills for HR Managers

Why Attend

In many organizations HR, as a function, is not invited to sit at the decision making table and participate in designing and implementing corporate strategies. The main reason behind this is top management’s perception of HR as a lower value function compared to other functions in the organization, and its belief that HR professionals are not adequately equipped with the necessary skills and competencies to play that all important strategic role. In this course, you will learn how to develop and apply six modern HR strategic competencies that will allow you to lead the HR function as a modern HR professional, earn that seat at the decision making table and contribute to your organization’s bottom line. In addition to the six modern competencies, the course will introduce the most modern tool in HR management, namely HR analytics and demonstrate how this tool can be applied to enhance your HR career.
