Perspectives: New Tools of the Management Trade

How HR teams are equipping people leaders to succeed in the new world of work

In just five years, so many things about our work has changed. Unfortunately, the way managers approach their role isn’t one of them. A failure to adopt new management practices is dragging down the bottom line, frustrating workers, and putting organizational health at risk.

This is a true hero moment for HR teams.

Managers are undertrained, overwhelmed, and unclear about how to be effective people leaders. Fortunately, HR teams are well-positioned to equip them with the tools and techniques they need to succeed. Come listen to a panel of HR experts who will share how they’ve answered the call.

In this webinar, you’ll:

  • Identify the most common enemies of effective people leadership.
  • Draw insights from a recent PI report examining too often overlooked solutions.
  • Learn what has worked—and what hasn’t—from HR leaders who have partnered with managers to boost business performance and worker well-being.

Bonus for our live attendees… tune in live for 1 HRCI and 1 SHRM credit!
