Organizations today face unprecedented levels of uncertainty, change fatigue, employee disengagement, and workforce stress. Yet some leaders and teams consistently outperform others despite facing the same challenges. Research suggests that one critical differentiator is Psychological Capital (PsyCap)—a measurable and developable psychological resource composed of Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism.
This course provides managers, HR professionals, executive coaches, consultants, and organizational leaders with practical tools to assess and develop Psychological Capital at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Drawing upon positive psychology, organizational leadership research, and real-world consulting examples, participants will learn how PsyCap influences employee engagement, performance, retention, adaptability, and well-being.
Participants will explore the evidence behind Psychological Capital, learn how each HERO component contributes to workplace effectiveness, and discover practical interventions that can be immediately applied with employees, teams, and leaders. The course concludes with a practical framework for creating a PsyCap development plan that can be integrated into leadership development, coaching, talent management, and organizational culture initiatives.
This course is particularly valuable for HR professionals, people managers, executive coaches, leadership development specialists, consultants, and business leaders seeking evidence-based approaches to improve workforce performance and resilience.
Course Key Concepts: Psychological, Capital, PsyCap, Positive, Psychology, Leadership Development, Employee, Engagement, Resilience, Optimism, Executive Coaching, Employee Retention, Workplace Well-Being, Leadership Effectiveness, Positive Organizational Behavior.

Description:
The GAO's Yellow Book, Government Auditing Standards, establishes CPE requirements. Auditors performing work under GAGAS, including planning, directing, performing field work, or reporting on an audit or attestation engagement under GAGAS, need to maintain their professional competence through continuing professional education (CPE). Therefore, each auditor performing work under GAGAS should complete, every two years, at least 80 hours of CPE that directly enhance the auditor's professional proficiency to perform audits and/or attestation engagements. At least 24 of the 80 hours of CPE should be in subjects directly related to government auditing, the government environment, or the specific or unique environment in which the audited entity operates. At least 20 hours of the 80 should be completed in any one year of the two-year period. For details on the Yellow Book CPE requirements go to http://www.gao.gov/ and https://www.gao.gov/assets/700/693136.pdf.
