Empowering People Leaders

Empowering People Leaders (EPL) Certification

Why Should You Attend?

As an HR professional, you play a key role in supporting the relationship between people leaders and their teams. You understand that people leadership is about more than submitting performance reviews and tracking team metrics. It’s about managing team members to work effectively together and achieve results.

You also know that team performance is often hindered by fuzzy expectations or unclear alignment to a larger strategy—not to mention that front-line managers are often underserved when it comes to development.

In this course you’ll learn what makes teams effective and how to prepare people leaders to apply these practices to their team leadership. You’ll receive practical tools that you can share right away with people leaders.
