Overview
HR Business Partnering is a widely accepted approach in today’s organisations. HR business partners must focus intently on the organisational goals of delivering value, driving change and improving stakeholder satisfaction. HR business partners need to be highly effective at engaging with others to develop the relationships needed through collaboration, aligning knowledge and enhancing the skills and capabilities to achieve business outcomes.
HR Business Partner Skills will help you develop the mindset of an effective business partner as well as the skills, behaviour and tools you need to enhance your approach. This is a practical course that focuses on how you build your relationships and influence your business partners so that you can begin to evolve your own, unique HR business partnering formula. The course design meets a range of learning needs from those who are junior HR business partners to those new in a senior position.
