HR Business Partnering: What it Means in Practice

HR professionals have a crucial contribution to make to their organisations' performance. Utilising a ‘business partner’ approach can ensure that those within HR are well placed to achieve strategic impact.

The concept of HR business partnering is hardly new and whilst many understand the main elements there is still often uncertainty about how HR business partners can add real value at a day-to-day level, particularly considering the great variety of workplace environments that exist in today’s complex and globalised economy.

Moreover, of all the roles within HR, that of business partner is one of the most demanding. Successful HRBPs need to be able to demonstrate that they can build strong relationships with colleagues, have well developed organisational development & change management skills, be comfortable in coaching line managers on people matters, have the confidence to challenge colleagues on difficult issues and have a solid understanding of the wider business context.

This interactive virtual session is designed to support HR professionals with a business partner remit and those who simply want to get a better understanding of the value that business partners can add to an organisation. Over the course of 90 minutes participants will get valuable insights into the underlying principles of successful HR business partnering and the ways in which HRBP’s can achieve strategic impact through HR activities.
