Start the New Year off right with HRLA! EQ Competence: HR’s Secret Weapon – Establishing the Talent Advantage that Drives Organizational Performance. Join us for this dynamic presentation on Thursday, January 19^th 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the Holiday Inn, New London.

 

Human Resources professionals are uniquely positioned to hugely impact their organization’s current and future capabilities through the selection, development and retention of the firm’s talent. Commonly HR will focus on applicants’ work experience and employees’ ongoing development of technical competence to ensure high quality talent. However, this work-task focus to talent just helps the firm keep pace with the competition and overlooks one of the strengths HR pros themselves often have, high Emotional Intelligence (EQ). This presentation will highlight a series of case studies highlighting the ROI of talent with EQ competence and discuss means to foster high EQ within your own organization.

 

Learning points of this fascinating presentation:

 

• What is Emotional Intelligence (EQ) competence and why it matters
• A conceptual model of EQ competence within an organization
• What is an EQ competent leader & what differentiates them from others
• EQ competence in leaders and individual contributors boosts ROI
• Next steps to help you turn EQ into a competitive talent advantage
