The HRBP’s Evolving Strategic Role

How to become a more effective partner to your line leaders

CHROs look to the HRBP role to drive organizational success

Organizations have invested in developing HRBP competencies, but individual attributes are only half the picture. Four organizational barriers inhibit the strategic effectiveness of even the most capable HRBPs: 

  • Application barrier: Unsure of applying competencies in day-to-day work
  • Partnership barrier: Asked to provide transactional support over strategic insight 
  • Functional barrier: Functional group tensions that inhibit collaboration with HR 
  • Enterprise barrier: Lack of coordination with partners outside of the organization
39% of HRBPs are able to prioritize strategic partner activities.

How we address top HRBP challenges

Organizations that build high-performing HRBPs improve employee performance by up to 22%, employee retention by up to 24%, revenue by up to 7%, and profit by up to 9%. Our insights, advice and tools can help you get there.
