Transform HR/Management Interactions: Coach Not Cop
How often do managers view HR professionals as compliance cops who are painful to encounter and should be avoided if possible? This doesn't have to be the case! By learning and applying the business case/cost-benefit analysis techniques provided in this session, you can move from “cop” to trusted coach and strategic partner. This session will show you how to:
· Effectively capture and confirm the related business need from the manager's perspective.
· Apply a four-pronged compliance test to identify legal and business risks.
· Use a tool of economic analysis to create options and assess compliance issues in a business context.
· Redirect management resistance through verbal Aikido.
