Do you have a plan when interviewing candidates? Do you have a tough time gathering information from potential employees? Most interviewers don’t know what to ask or ask the wrong questions, leading to bad hires and worse. During this workshop, learners become ‘interviewing dynamics’ and discover best practices for conducting behavioral based interviews in the workplace. Learners will create behavioral questions to give them the best chance to gather candidate information, develop a candidate evaluation strategy to achieve the best results - before, during and after the interview, and discover how to guide the interview conversation to get the answers to make the best hire.
This workshop is ideal for all Kent State employees involved in the hiring process.

Emotional intelligence can be defined as the ability to incorporate emotions into your decision making for optimal outcomes. Kent State utilizes the MSCEIT (Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test) model to measure your EI ability across the four key areas of Identifying, Using, Understanding and Managing emotions. You can take this EI online test and then engage in a personal consultation with a certified MSCEIT professional in HR to interpret your results. Participants receive their detailed test results along with areas of strengths and potential opportunities for development. Contact Training and Development at 330-672-2100 or hrd@kent.edu for more information and to schedule your EI test and consultation.
A fee is associated with the MSCEIT assessment. Contact Training and Development for pricing options.

This workshop is by appointment and is intended for intact work teams. Kent State University relies more and more on teams to innovate, problem solve, and continuously improve performance. Understanding and capitalizing on individual strengths and approaches to group processes is crucial to creating high performance teams.
Participants complete an online self-assessment to learn to work from their strengths by identifying their most natural team role, while giving them added appreciation for the contributions of others. As a result, team innovation and productivity increase as conflict and project-cycle time decrease.
Participants will receive a customized report on their strengths and opportunities and an aggregate group report indicating overall team strengths and team opportunities for improvement.
