Why do smart people fail? Why do technically brilliant individuals have trouble managing others and collaborating on a team? What they lack is a critical level of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the ability to manage theirs and others emotions when they are under pressure.

Whether you are leading a team or want to increase your individual performance, the EI program will teach you the foundational principles and brain science of emotional intelligence. You will become a student of human behaviour: understanding what your brain does under pressure and how that affects your decision making and the impact you have on others.

This program focuses on strengthening competencies on tactical skills such as collaboration, problem solving, and communication to achieve and maintain success. Our goal is to help individuals shift into taking a coach approach to leadership with the aim to develop others to sharpen critical thinking skills, adapt to change, raise accountability, and to access their own resourcefulness.

 

At HRMAM, we are committed to building the strategic capability and organizational impact of HR practitioners, and providing value to our members.

To further support the Continued Professional Development needs of our growing population of Certified Human Resources Professionals (CHRPs), and in recognition of the quality of some of the HR professional development programs offered throughout Manitoba, we are proud to introduce the HRMAM Accreditation Program.

 

HRMAM has added a new category to the CPD log. 3E - Community Volunteering includes activities to accommodate those members who volunteer at organizations such as not-for-profit or charitable organizations, activities in leadership, sports, recreation, social services and HRMAM events.

HRmatters is HRMAM's biannual magazine, providing our readers with information on leading HR practices, professional trends and industry updates. To make this happen, we rely on article submissions from our readers and those with specialized knowledge of the human resource industry. 

We are currently seeking article submissions for our Spring 2016 issue. The theme of this issue centres around 'Leadership at Work'. In the Fall of 2015 HRMAM began the conversation about promoting CHRPs (Certified Human Resource Professionals) as leaders in the workplace. We will continue this theme in the spring issue of HRmatters. HR demonstrated leadership everyday, in the creation of systems that allow individuals and teams to shine. HR professionals are leaders in ensuring the health and safety of people as they go about their daily work. They exemplify leadership in their ethical, professional dealings in sometimes challenging personal situations. They also help to create a culture of leadership in their workplaces through their actions and examples. Please keep this in mind when considering your submission and attempt to relate your content to this theme.

Articles published in HRmatters are eligible for CHRP Continuing Professional Development hours.

Deadline for submissions is March 11, 2016
