From Data to Trust: HR as a Courageous Change Agent
January 29, 2026 10:00 AM Europe/Copenhagen
HR is expected to be strategic, brave, and close to the business.
At the same time, you’re handling operations, supporting leaders, and carrying stories that are often heavy and complex.
You sit on strong insights from engagement and EX surveys.
You see patterns. You hear what people don’t dare say out loud.
But bringing this into the room in a clear, honest way that still builds trust?
That can feel risky, politically, emotionally and personally.
This webinar is about courage in HR as something practical and shared. Not heroism. Not “just be bold”. But realistic ways to act with courage in your everyday work, without standing alone.
When courage in HR feels easier said than done
You might recognize this:
Your data points to a clear problem: a team culture, a leader’s behavior, a pattern of silence. You know it needs to be addressed.
But:
- You’re unsure how far your mandate really goes.
- You know there will be resistance or pushback.
- You’re worried about how it will affect your relationships and your role.
So you wait. You soften the message. Or you carry the concern on your own.
This webinar gives you a language, a model, and concrete steps to handle situations like this with more clarity, support, and courage.
Why join this webinar?
Join us for a practical session on From Data to Trust: HR as a Courageous Change Agent, where we connect data, emotions, and dialogue in a way that fits HR’s real world.
You will learn how to:
- Talk about courage in HR in a clear, down-to-earth way
What courage looks like in HR practice, and how it differs from “just being tough”. - Combine hard data with emotional reality
Use both numbers and stories to open honest conversations with leaders and teams. - Spot what holds courage back in your organization
Understand the personal, cultural, and political barriers – and what you can actually influence. - Build the support that makes courage sustainable
How emotional, structural, relational and political support can make it safer to act on what you see. - Take small, concrete next steps
Simple actions you can bring back to your own HR role, team, and organization right away.
In just 60 minutes, you will:
✔ Get a practical model for courage in HR you can use with colleagues and leaders
✔ See real examples from HR’s everyday work, not ideal scenarios on a slide
✔ Reflect on your own role and where you want (and don’t want) to be more courageous
✔ Leave with specific ideas for your “first next step” after the webinar
Who’s behind this webinar
At Ennova, we work every day with employee experience, engagement, and leadership across many organizations and countries.
We know that data alone doesn’t create change. It’s the conversations, the decisions, and the follow-up around the data that make the difference, and HR is often at the center of that.
This webinar is based on a well-received keynote delivered at a major HR conference in 2025 and has now been adapted for an international audience. The themes come directly from HR’s own reality: pressure from all sides, high expectations, and a strong wish to do the right thing for people and the organization.
Who is the webinar for?
- HR Directors and HR Leaders
- HR Business Partners
- HR professionals working with employee experience, engagement, and culture
You’re welcome to join on your own, or together with your HR team or leadership group, to create a shared starting point.
