How to make business partnering strategic

Many in HR want business partnering to deliver more value. Their frustration can be caused by lack of support from business leaders, lack of clarity about what great business partnering looks like, or the capabilities of the HRBPs.

Would you like to shift these obstacles?

Convincing data helps, like this:
‘Strategically effective HRBPs can improve employee performance in their business units by 19% to 25%. 
Increases in profitability average 9%’.  Gartner, 2023

This applies to HRBPs who operate ‘strategically’, and this is the core conundrum of business partnering. What does ‘strategic business partnering’ look like? And, how do you achieve this kind of impact?

The answer is a powerful mix of business acumen and relationship skills. But it will only work when supported across the organisation. Strategic change demands strategic commitment.
