Lunch-N-Learn – Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace: What, Why and How!

Is there any company that we can think of that does not want their employees to be engaged at work, be loyal to their jobs, be compassionate and kind to their colleagues, and be empathetic - both when sharing their points of views with their juniors or listening to their superiors? And are their companies that do not want their staff to be both socially conscious as well as environmentally more aware?

EVENT OVERVIEW

The fact is, that despite human beings emotional creatures, very few organizations treat their people as such. However, in an increasingly VUCA* world, individuals are looking for more out of their jobs and lives. And companies can ill-afford their people to be disinterested, disengaged, and distant from their jobs and their coworkers. The jewel in the crown though, for companies still mulling over (or not even considering it) Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ) is that:

• It is linked to higher job satisfaction for those with high EI/EQ and/or people managed by those with high EI/EQ.
• It is strongly associated with job performance.

Join Green Initiatives for a lunch-time talk at Jingan Kerry Center where we will be go deeper into the various advantages of EI, any limitations, how it can be integrated in companies and what might be the starting point for HR Managers and leaders looking to bring EI into their workplaces. Talk will be conducted by Klaus Schmitt, a Trainer, NLP Practitioner, Certified Organizational Coach (IECL) and PCC (Professional Certified Coach) by ICF.
