MEGA SESSION Changing the Culture, Not Checking the Box: Management Training in Today's Workplace
HR professionals have the unenviable task of trying to make routine training for supervisors and managers fresh, interesting and instructive. How can HR change workplace culture—as opposed to just checking a box—around such matters as proper documentation, meaningful performance appraisals, sexual harassment prevention, discipline risks and more? How do you keep the attention of managers who are receiving the same message over and over, year after year? This session offers creative, interactive approaches to management training and explores the essential training topics for 2019.
Learning Objectives:
- Why harassment, leadership, and diversity and inclusion should be on your list of must-do training.
- How to engage your audience and keep people’s attention.
- An examination of unconscious bias and its impact on the workplace.
