The Secrets of Intentional Communication to Retain Hi-Pos
This session is about taking ownership of how we communicate with others so we can receive enhanced communication from others, which eventually results in stronger relationships, which in turn results in strong employee retention. As an HR professional, you likely entertain managers who are frustrated with their employees, employees who are frustrated with their managers, and employees who are frustrated with their peers and upper management. Communication affects every aspect of our day. Heck, even when we're not communicating, we're communicating. This session will provide information and tips that allow you to intentionally control the power of your communication.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the three components of communication.
- Learn three tips to enhance your listening skills.
- Learn the four-step approach to a difficult conversation.
- Hear tips on delivering effective messages.
