Training Course: Strategic HR Business Partner

Introduction

Over the past few decades, the Human Resource profession has undergone significant changes in organization and alignment with the strategic orientation of the organizations it serves. These transformations have led HR to adopt many practices from other functional areas, such as marketing, quality control, and information management.

One of the key areas significantly impacted is how the HR function is structured. This new HR structural model helps balance efficiency, customer service quality, and adaptability. To make this model effective, HR must understand how the various components of HR work together to deliver value to the organization.

The Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) represents the most strategic part of the HR team. Typically experienced generalists, they require a deeper understanding of the business organization and how the HR function contributes to achieving its goals. This is the essence of the Strategic HR Business Partner Certification, which offers Strategic HR Business Partner Training to enhance their skills.
