We all have the same question in our minds, "What will the new world of work look like?" Among physical work environments, safety concerns, mental health issues, staffing changes and remote work options, HR has a lot to consider in planning for the post pandemic age.

In times of uncertainty, knowledge is power, so join us for Day 2 of this two-day virtual event, where various subject matter experts bring the latest updates and emerging trends to help prepare and navigate through this new norm.

Keynote Session #1:  

"Engaging Employees Virtually Using Emotional Intelligence"

Speaker: Carolyn Stern, EI Experience

Description:

Engaging staff, making them feel valued and apart of the organization has always been a struggle. Now that your employees are working remotely, it accentuates this challenge. It requires new forms of communication and motivation. When you learn to lead your employees to feel connected to their teams, appreciated for their efforts, and fulfilled in their job, it will impact how they feel and perform at work. The best way for managers to build that kind of relationship with their teams is to lead with emotional intelligence.

In this keynote, we will show you that leading with emotional intelligence is the answer to effectively engaging a virtual team. Much of our daily communication is non-verbal, but with the right technology, tools and techniques, you can feel just as connected with your teams as if they were working in the office with you.

Learning Outcomes:

• Discover what emotional intelligence is and why it is critical to employee engagement
• Determine what are the traits of an engaged employee
• Identify the difference between engagement and disengagement
