Ongoing performance development involves establishing a systematic process that leaders can use to support employees. This process focuses on creating clear expectations for individual performance based on the organization’s goals. The goal of this session is to help leaders improve their people development skills by implementing a performance management system that helps every employee achieve their peak performance potential.  Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is defined as a set of competencies demonstrating the ability one has to recognize his or her behaviors, moods and impulses and to manage them according to the situation. This course provides tools for becoming emotionally intelligent in the workplace. An employee with high emotional intelligence can manage his or her own impulses, communicate with others effectively, manage change well, solve problems and use humor to build rapport in tense situations.  Differentiate between ongoing performance development and annual performance appraisals.

ZLDR-8952 Adaptability & Change Enablement

0.3 CEUs

An organization’s ability to effectively drive change depends on its ability to engage its most valuable resource — its people — in the process. This course provides the skills and resources leaders need to accelerate change implementation and create an agile work environment in which people are more open to change.  Change happens all around us — at home, in our communities and at work. The only constant of change is that it is unavoidable. Anxiety over the unknown, changes in roles and responsibilities and/or processes can result in unhappy, unproductive and stressed-out employees. Embracing change is easier when we know what the changes are, why they are happening, the benefits they will yield and how to overcome barriers to change.

ZLDR-8953 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging

0.3 CEUs

Unconscious (or implicit) biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that are formed outside of our own conscious awareness. Every person who has ever interacted with or seen another human being has unconscious biases that shape the way they view and think about other groups of people. At the individual level, these biases can negatively impact work relationships and performance. At the societal level, they can lead to an unfair and hostile environment for certain groups. Although we all have unconscious biases, it doesn’t mean we can’t control and change them. It's up to each of us to take responsibility for our own biases, as they can have harmful, real-world outcomes.
