Body Language for HR

Connect with your staff like never before and learn to anticipate potential issues before they happen.
In your role as an HR manager, communication is inevitable, whether it is with your peers or for recruiting. HR professionals play an important role in their organization’s success by being an advocate that spans employees and top management. Having the ability to read body language during a job interview is a tremendous help as well– it will save you time and money by helping you pick the person who is right for the job, not just the person who has the best-looking resume.
• Use nonverbal communication/awareness when onboarding employees
• Evaluate potential new hires using micro-expressions and body language
• Read body language to detect integrity or deception when interviewing/hiring
• Recognizing and understanding nonverbal behavior can give you better insight and assessment of your employees; their state of mind, emotional state, and possible intentions.

New Manager Success

Advancement to a high-profile leadership role automatically increases visibility. Having the correct body language is vital to a role in effective leadership. It helps you convey your attitude, feelings, and intentions to your employees. Mastering how to utilize body language, and read the body language of others, is an essential managerial skill. As a manager, understanding nonverbal communication will give you a decisive advantage in every business deal, negotiation, and interaction.
When you understand body language, you’ll have the powerful ability to interpret more about the person you are speaking with and what they truly mean.

Leadership – Body Language of Leaders for maximum Confidence and Success

Both verbal and non-verbal responses should reflect careful attention to Body Language. Ultimately, like every form of communication, Body Language connects people and like every language, its vocabulary must be learned. The capacity to interpret signals is critical to sustaining Executive Presence.
Far more than being a “good listener,” understanding the interwoven connections between verbal and non-verbal communications is critical. Once mastered, Body Language provides the potential to both increase influence and direct the flow of information.
