Event Details

Influence is one of the most important, yet most under-developed, soft skills in the workplace. It is a Relationship Management sub competency within SHRM's Professional Competency Model and increasingly critical to both career and organizational success.

HR professionals have an influential seat at the table, playing an important role in affecting meaningful change across your organization, both at an individual and organizational culture level. Success as an HR business partner requires influencing stakeholders' perspectives, buy-in, and behaviors to make the changes required to operate in a post COVID environment. Yet, especially when not in the position of power, many HR professionals don't view themselves as influential.

In this session, you'll learn nine techniques that can be used to develop comradery, influence decisions, and drive results. Attendees will also learn how to elevate your influence with stakeholders, becoming more trusted and respected HR business partners.

Program Objectives:

• Discover practices you can apply today for becoming more respected, more influential, and for having greater impact on the change taking place in your organization.
• Learn and practice nine techniques that can be used systematically to help you influence others.
• Recognize mistakes sabotaging your influence, what to watch out for, and how to avoid stepping into these traps.
