Session A

Growth & Development for Employees

As Human Resource professionals a primary focus and responsibility that you face, is the development of our teams, as individuals, and as a group working together toward a common organizational purpose. Although this may include training specific to their unique roles within your company, evidence supports a more universal viewpoint of employee development.

Integrated Intelligence speaks to the connecting at the Heart, Head and Soul, each piece gaining meaning and significance from the whole. Looking at the needs of the complete person vs. just the skills necessary to complete day-to-day tasks provides for a more productive employee, which over time will increase revenue and profitability.
