Sessions

HR has a reputation for being reclusive information hoarders and the department of "no." To effectively engage with organizational goals and initiatives as a strategic business partner, we must master the art of collaboration. HR business partners must learn how to effectively share knowledge, data and resources to better leverage internal relationships. Real collaboration highlights HR as a strategic resource, allowing us to change old perceptions. In this session, Tina Marie Wohlfield will share insights and lessons learned from the HR trenches on how leveraging the ability to listen and collaborate with internal business partners can help establish trust and credibility. You will learn techniques on how to better engage internal stakeholders through active listening, exhibiting organization/business acumen, and acting as a collaborator in practical and effective business solutions. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Identify areas where HR can enhance internal/external relationships through collaboration. 
• Review effective communication techniques.  
• Identify ways to leverage business/industry acumen to establish and enhance internal and external relationships.
