Establishing and Nurturing Emotionally Intelligent Teams and Workplaces

A lack of Emotional Intelligence will have a detrimental impact on organisations as a result of the negative effect this has on the individual employees. If an organisation does not adopt, establish and embed emotional intelligence then it will have a detrimental effect on their employees. This is evidenced in the increase in stress in the workplace and emotional exhaustion, and the impact this has on the individuals and the organisations. This costs British businesses an estimated £26 billion per annum.

Emotional Intelligence is key to both personal and professional success. People who are emotionally intelligent and show genuine empathy, fully understand and manage their emotions and have an awareness of how others express and manage their emotions.

This will lead to effective communications, facilitating healthy, productive relationships with others, enabling individuals to have a more fulfilled and successful personal and professional life. This, in turn, leads to increased productivity and greater organisational growth.

This programme will discuss what an emotionally intelligent team is, and how this differs from a team that is just functioning (and definitely an underperforming or dysfunctional team). It will outline how establishing and nurturing an emotionally intelligent team will enhance the productivity and effectiveness of the team, and therefore the organisation as a whole. The course will detail what an emotionally intelligent team looks like, why it is so effective, how this can be achieved and the positive impact this has in the workplace. It will provide examples of this in practice and prompts for how emotional intelligence can be embedded into teams.
