In part one of a special two-part episode of the HRchat Podcast with guest Professor Sir Cary Cooper, we focus on measuring presenteeism, optimizing productivity, and fostering a culture of employee health and wellbeing.Professor Sir Cary Cooper, CBE is the 50th Anniversary Prof of Organizational Psychology & Health at Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, the author and editor of numerous books, and is one of Britain's most quoted business experts. Questions in part one include: Rethinking presenteeism to achieve higher productivity: "Our latest research at Robertson Cooper has turned conventional wisdom about presenteeism on its head. We've identified that not all instances of working whilst unwell should be classified as 'presenteeism,' paving the way for a new era in how organizations manage employee health, wellbeing, and productivity." What we've discovered: There are three distinct types of working whilst unwell, only one of which should be labeled presenteeism and eradicated from businesses." Tell us about the 'correct' definition of presenteeism. "The other two types, "Functional Presence" (Pragmatic and Therapeutic), aren't always a cost to businesses and may actually be desirable for both the organization and the employee." Tell us more about these types. What impact can presenteeism have on colleagues? Recent market reports suggest employees will be staying in the jobs for longer in 2024. How can employers minimize the chances of presenteeism and, instead, help to develop and grow the development of their people? We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

When a leader inspires performance in others, they facilitate optimal outcomes in a variety of situations. A leader who inspires their team will encourage better problem solving, and they’ll both recognize and support the work of those around them.Listen as Debbie Muno and Bill Banham discuss why leaders who inspire those around them — rather than simply managing performance using key performance indicators (KPIs) — will help to empower their teams to perform above and beyond what’s expected. Inspiring performance is an important part of being an effective leader because:Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating the performance of othersManaging performance with rules and key performance indicators usually produces an “expected” result, rather than an “unexpected” high performance resultTeam members learn more and develop their capacities best when they’re inspired, which means an inspiring leader can spur continuous improvement from year to year

In the realm of HR, adeptly handling our moods, emotions, conduct, and time showcases our proficiency in self-management. By mastering self-management, we unlock the potential for ongoing growth and enhancement in our professional environments. Particularly for leaders, self-management plays a pivotal role.Leaders who possess exceptional self-management skills exhibit remarkable resilience. This enables them to swiftly recover from challenging and high-pressure circumstances. Conversely, leaders lacking in this competency are often characterized as prone to mood swings.In episode five of the EI Sunday Supplement by HR Gazette, Debbie Muno explores why self-management is key to leadership goals and how it can positively influence performance, engagement, and success.Listen as we explore the profound benefits of emotional intelligence training for business leaders and how it can enhance their effectiveness, drive employee engagement, and lead to organizational success.

Emotional reasoning is a powerful tool that business leaders can leverage to make fully informed decisions. By integrating emotions with facts and data, leaders can unlock new possibilities and create a more inclusive and meaningful approach to decision-making. Investing in emotional reasoning skills can lead to improved team dynamics, enhanced innovation, and ultimately, greater success in the ever-evolving business landscape.In episode four of the EI Sunday Supplement by HR Gazette, we explore why emotional reasoning is foundational to leadership success and the ways it can positively influence performance, engagement, and overall success.Learn more by listening to this episode with Debbie Muno and Bill Banham.

When we express ourselves openly and effectively, and when we honor our commitments, we’re practicing authenticity. Being authentic involves expressing emotions to at the right time, to the right degree and to the right people.When leaders practice authenticity, they’re described as genuine. Leaders who are lower in these skills are often described by others as untrustworthy.In episode three of the EI Sunday Supplement by HR Gazette, we explore why authenticity is key to leadership goals and how it can positively influence performance, engagement, and overall success. Listen as we explore the profound benefits of emotional intelligence training for business leaders and how it can enhance their effectiveness, drive employee engagement, and lead to organizational success.Authenticity is important to being an effective leader because:It helps leaders create understanding, openness and feelings of trust in othersLeaders who are behave guardedly, avoid conflict, or are inappropriately blunt about the way they feel can create mistrust, artificial harmony and misunderstandings with those around themLeaders need the people they’re supervising to be open with them, and modeling this behavior themselves will encourage it in others

In episode two of the EI Sunday Supplement by HR Gazette, we explore why awareness of others is key to leadership goals and how it can positively influence performance, engagement, and overall success. Listen as we explore the profound benefits of emotional intelligence training for business leaders and how it can enhance their effectiveness, drive employee engagement, and lead to organizational success.More About Awareness of Others The ability to be aware of the emotional state of others is all about taking stock of those around us. When we take notice of others, acknowledge them, and make them feel valued, we’re exercising this competency.Leaders who are especially aware of those around them are able to adjust their leadership style accordingly and tend to be described as empathetic to their colleagues, rather than insensitive to others and their feelings.Awareness of others is essential to effective leadership because:Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating performance, and the way others feel is directly linked to the way the performAwareness of others is necessary in order to take effective steps to influence and facilitate others’ performanceTo encourage optimal performance, leaders need to adjust their leadership style so that it best fits with the people and situations they are leading.Learn more by listening to this episode with Debbie Muno and Bill Banham.We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

In today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape, effective leadership is not solely about technical expertise and strategic thinking. It also requires a high degree of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence, particularly when honed through training, empowers leaders to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, foster meaningful connections, and inspire their teams. In episode one of the EI Sunday Supplement by HR Gazette, we explore why self-awareness is essential to effective leadership and how it can positively influence performance, engagement, and overall success. Listen as we explore the profound benefits of emotional intelligence training for business leaders and how it can enhance their effectiveness, drive employee engagement, and lead to organizational success.More About Self-AwarenessA key component of emotional intelligence is self-awareness - the art of being aware of the behavior we demonstrate, our strengths and limitations, and the impact we have on others.Leaders with high emotional self-awareness are characterized as present, rather than disconnected, both from themselves and from others.

In this HRchat, we welcome Ben Eubanks back to the show. Ben is an HR analyst, author, fellow podcaster, and Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory.As a human capital management industry analyst, Ben helps companies and vendors with strategy, content, and more. He has been a speaker for over a decade at events such as the SHRM Annual Conference, ATD TechKnowledge, and the HR Technology Conference.Previously, Ben worked as an "in-the-trenches leader in the HR field" within smaller organizations, government contracting firms, and the non-profit sector. Questions For Ben Include:You recently wrote a piece for the team at Workplace from Meta on creating an environment where employees can raise their voice and contribute without fear or judgment called The Democratic Workplace. In the article, you touched on the PRESS framework for transparency, how leaders can commit to openness, and whether this will ultimately lead to chaos.  Can you tell us about this PRESS framework and how it can help foster work environments that embrace innovation, collaboration, and free-thinking? "While there are some core concepts that remain critical (respect, fairness, and so on), the way companies approach it is continuing to go deeper than the old-fashioned (and ineffective) diversity quota on hiring." In an October 2022 session hosted by you and George Rogers, you talk with some leaders and experts that are pushing the boundaries when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. You also unveiled some of your new research on the topic; shedding light on what contributes to employee belonging (and what it means in terms of retention, performance, and more). Can you tell us more about the session and your new findings? In a recent recruiting study, you asked "what metrics are you using most often?" What are the findings and do you agree with the people analytics focus of, and hiring metrics used by, most orgs? How can we measure culture fit and 'culture add' in the hiring process? In early 2022, you published the second edition of Artificial Intelligence for HR: Use AI to Support and Develop a Successful Workforce. The updated book tries to answer: "How can HR professionals understand the variety of opportunities AI has created for the HR function and how best to implement these in their organization?" Tell us about the second edition and some of the hoped-for learning outcomes.  We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

We live in a world dominated by ratings. We generally prefer to purchase 5-star products, read 5-star books, eat at 5-star restaurants, and watch 5-star movies. Why then would you settle for anything less than a 5-star career?

While struggling to overcome a troubling childhood, become the best version of yourself, and build a career, you began incorporating quality management concepts into your personal thought process at home and at work. As a result, you say you found what proved for you to be “the missing link” between all of your hard work and feeling rewarded. Tell me more.Why do people settle for mediocracy? Is it laziness (too much ‘Netflix and chill’ time)? Is it a lack of opportunity? Is it the system keeping us down? Is it something else?Why do you believe one’s career is, essentially, what we make of it? Talk to me about the concept of a person’s career being a product created by their own process. Share too, how to improve that process by learning to manage all the parts as an integrated, unified whole.In your new book, you suggest it’s possible for us to each clearly define what a quality career means. Tell us about that process. As part of that answer, perhaps you can explain what you mean when you explain that a ‘successful career is not just about money and that it’s vital to shift one’s personal philosophy, mindset, and operating system to support developing it?You stress the critical role data plays in making decisions that can produce a 5-star career. How can data guide us along our career journeys and help us to avoid impulsive leaps and be more honest with ourselves?We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.
