Ensure decisions taken under workplace emotional intelligence would withstand external scrutiny.
Building Emotional Intelligence in the Professional Workplace
Practical training in workplace emotional intelligence, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Policy on workplace emotional intelligence is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. A process for the practice within people management and development that managers quietly work around has already failed. The level assumes working familiarity with the workforce but no prior formal training in this strand of people management and development. Organisations that document workplace emotional intelligence properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this part of people management and development and revise it on evidence. Participants leave with a method for the practice within people management and development, not a set of opinions about it. Most organisations already have a policy on workplace emotional intelligence; far fewer can show it working. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a people policy for this aspect of people management and development as they go. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the people management and development discipline that participants can repeat annually.
