This dynamic and interactive two-day course will teach participants to effectively communicate and consult with their internal customers to build your credibility as an HR consultant. They will learn practical skills for better understanding and communicating with customers, anticipating and responding to customer requests and concerns, and measuring customer service and satisfaction. During the course, learners will develop an action plan for increasing customer satisfaction with the services they provide, and a personal action plan for transitioning to a strategic “consultant” role.
