HR As A Business Partner

The transformation of HR from a support function to a business partner has been identied by major global businesses as the main

objective for HR Managers and professionals to consider as the next phase of the development of their role. In fact, it has become the

new expectation from senior executives and internal clients.

To create a business partnership implies that HR Managers will learn to work together with those who are responsible for the

business. The person with whom the business manager can discuss the issues of the organisation and plan the best possible future.

The HR Professional has to become the innovator, able to balance the business objectives of his/her internal client with the human

power they are responsible for. To make this happen, the HR Professional has to suggest methods and solutions that aim for the

optimisation of the human capital managed by their business manager. But what is new? Where is the real challenge?

Being proactive and capable of anticipating the requests of what the business managers, as strategic partners, would do is what really

makes the difference between a traditional HR manager/professional and the HR Business Partner. Presenting information and

statistics effectively and being able to inuence the key decision makers represents the core asset for those who want to transform

the perception of their role and want to have a different position and impact.

The HR Business Partner assists the management in the execution of their business strategies with the consequent total satisfaction of

both clients and employees. The time of dealing with work permits and with hiring/ring issues is over!
