Our HCI certified trainings offer you and your organization several key benefits in addition to our emphasis on strategy and research-based solutions.
We come to you, either on-site or online. Your budget will benefit from reduced costs for things like travel and excessive downtime. Plus, HCI's focus on strategic alignment means you're better able to make the case for training with decision-makers outside of HR. It's good for them, too.
Your team will engage in hands-on learning activities, work through proven case studies, and apply what they've learned to the challenges on their to-do lists today.
Your team will work through challenges they're facing in real-time. As a group, they're immersed in the learning experience, building a common language and understanding of key concepts.
Corporate Training engagements are scalable for both small and large organizations. Whether you have five HR teams around the world or one HR team of five, our educational opportunities are designed to benefit all.
We know learning doesn't end when class ends. We'll help you encourage learning application through tools and templates, coaching and ongoing consulting, virtual faculty "office hours," executive briefings for non-HR stakeholders, and more.

HCI’s model takes workforce planning out of the theoretical realm and gives you a methodology and set of tools that you can implement right away—beginning in class.

Build the talent and leadership pipeline your organization needs for sustainable future growth
Succession planning is an objective, intentional, and systematic effort to ensure leadership continuity by identifying and developing current and future leaders who will lead and execute the organization's strategic priorities. In other words, it helps current leaders and HR stakeholders answer these two critical questions: Who should lead? And when?
We also believe that building a strong leadership pipeline requires talent that is nurtured and developed at all levels and in alignment with an organization's business strategy. This is the best way to ensure individual readiness and support future growth.
The NEW Succession Planning & Talent Development Certification Program is designed to help you align your organization's succession planning and talent development efforts with your business strategy by using a practical but compelling framework to guide your team's efforts.

Drive engagement and performance by creating a coaching culture throughout your organization.
Your organization needs managers and leaders who use coaching skills to empower employees to achieve goals. But does it give those managers and leaders the tools and knowledge to coach effectively? Does it hold them accountable for the impact coaching has on teams and the business?
The Coaching for Engagement & Performance Certification Program is not about how to coach. Instead, it gives you a scalable, actionable framework to build coaching skills and abilities into the fabric of your organization, transforming the manager-employee relationship, and driving measurable business results.
The business impact is real. Research has shown that year over year, organizations that effectively leverage coaching realize higher revenue growth than peer companies that don’t embrace coaching. By equipping employees with the tools and knowledge to respond, problem-solve, and adapt in real-time, managers and leaders realize tangible benefits such as improved team functioning, increased engagement, faster leadership development, and increased productivity.
