How to Create Accountability & Confidence:
Your HR Toolkit to Stop Workplace Bullying and Disruptive Behaviours
 
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.
 
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.

Can you define your organization's soul with just six terms? Most corporate bosses and their HR teams come unglued when they try.
