HR Business Partnering Programme

Duration

3 Days 

Overview

Effective HR business partnering is about developing a new mindset and new skills rather than adopting a model. Building on a consultative approach with other managers and the organisation, business partners think strategically and draw on their credibility to influence at a senior level. But operating as a business partner requires a vastly different array of skills compared to more transactional forms of HR service delivery. It requires a much deeper and broader understanding of your organisation, the ability to work alongside all levels of management, greater self-awareness and impact, expertise in creating and leading change and the maintenance of a business focus.

 

This highly practical programme uses real life examples to provide the delegates with valuable information on how partnering operates in practice. It will help delegates to build the skill set of an effective business partner and benchmark their current experience against best practice and other organisation’s activities. Delegates will also discover ways to develop and progress as HR business partners, both personally, and within their organisations.
