HR Business Partnering

Overview

The term "Business Partnering" is being used ever more frequently referring to the changing nature of the requirements business leaders have of their support functions, such as HR, Finance and Technologies.
This workshop specifically focuses on the role of modern day HR professionals and how they can increase the value they contribute to the business. The workshop focuses on a number of HR case studies that any HR professional will recognise and identify with. At the heart of the Business Partner's role is learning how to secure their seat at the table with their business colleagues and to influence without formal authority.
