It’s been over 25 years since the concept of the HRBP was developed by Dave Ulrich, with its focus on four key roles: a strategic partner, a change agent, the employee champion, and an administrative expert. There have been some challenges in adopting and evolving the role, but the post-pandemic world has reiterated the need for HR to get closer to the ever-changing business strategies and disruptions that drive increasingly demanding expectations of the workforce.

The HRBP must become an even more crucial touch point for business leaders than ever before.  That means dealing with an ever-increasing need to demonstrate tangible value and commercial insight, and ensuring that the largely tactical, administrative function of the past becomes a strategic value-adding function. This requires a focus on resolving business problems, defining success of HR in commercial terms, and building the capabilities of the workforce so that they can deliver and support the business strategy.

 

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

This half-day workshop has been devised by Dave Millner, based upon his deep experience and research into commercial HR functions, his 30 years of global consulting work, his book ‘An Introduction to People Analytics’ (Second Edition June 2023) and the curation of “all things future” through @HRCurator.  He aims to take a commercial, people-centric view of the HR function, assisting HR practitioners in how to utilise the key behaviours that make a real business impact and influence business leaders to embrace the people-centric approach that the pandemic has demanded. 

 

The aim of this workshop is to provide an insight into the future demands that will be made of HRBP’s, and through practical exercises and a range of different case studies, you will gain ideas in how to support business leaders in a more commercial and credible way. The format of the workshop will revolve around the principles of:

  • Knowledge sharing of case studies and frameworks
  • Learning opportunities so that different techniques and ideas can be understood and tested out
  • A focus on how these techniques can be used back in the HRBP role.

 

WORKSHOP OUTLINE

Dave will provide you with some insights, frameworks and examples that can help you build your confidence when working with business leaders.  This workshop will involve online interaction on practical examples and case studies.
