Create and Grow High-Performing HR Teams Through Intention, Interaction, and Influence
Being a good leader is more than just telling people what to do. It is about enabling team members to work effectively together and achieve results. As an HR leader, you are responsible for engaging and developing your employees. You guide your team through their day to day and lead initiatives that provide value to your organization.
At HCI, we understand the value of what you do and the need for dedicated development for HR leaders. Our Strategic HR Leadership certification is just that: a practical and hands-on course that will help you be a better people leader. Improve your team’s performance and engagement by linking your team's work to business strategy, analyzing your team roles, and creating learning plans for your team. You’ll practice giving feedback and coaching to better guide your team and you will leave class with the practical tools and templates you need to grow your leadership skills right away.
Increased Focus on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are critical in today's business environment. As an HR leader, you are expected to serve as DEIB role model within your organization. To help you better prepare, we've updated this certification program to include new research and content on diversity, equity and inclusion topics. You will learn the impact DEI has on people and performance, how to mitigate unconscious bias and what you can do to create more equitable environments where people can feel a sense of safety and belonging.
