Human Resources (HR) Influencing at the Board Level 1.5 CPE

In this course we provide valuable information about how a Human Resources (HR) manager can raise their confidence and ability to hold authoritative and impactful conversations at the board level.  

We begin by reviewing the importance of being able to persuade and articulate the value of Human Resource Management (HRM), using language that the boardroom will understand and respect. We then develop a discussion on the unspoken rules for successful board-level relationships to propel the HR agenda forward and be able to influence, persuade and win board-level arguments. This leads to a conversation on a framework of best practice tools, tips and techniques including conducting successful conversations, holding impactful meetings and adjusting your approach and style.  

The course is suitable for those HR managers who wish to position the HR agenda and people strategy as a foundation of sustained organizational performance.
