Effective HR Management: A How-To Guide for All Levels

Presented by Dianna Lyon-Wagner, SPHR, My HR Pros (Van Buren, AR)

How should HR focus the development of the management team? Focus on efficiency that is ethical and legally compliant is a wise place to begin. Join this conversation to explore the relationship between management and culture and employee performance.  In this practical lunch-and-learn, participants will connect KPIs to the leader's role in building trust, leading effectively, handling conflict, coaching employees, managing time, and improving feedback. 

Learning objectives

  • Strengthen manager communication skills by applying active listening, emotional intelligence, and clear communication techniques in everyday employee interactions.
  • Build leadership effectiveness by fostering trust, coaching and developing team members, and using constructive approaches to motivation and conflict resolution.
  • Improve managerial self-awareness and execution by using feedback, delegating effectively, setting realistic priorities, and letting go of ineffective habits.
