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
