This document discusses the evolving role of the HR business partner (HRBP) and strategies for success. It notes that traditional HR practices are no longer sufficient due to trends like new generations of workers and a more global, data-driven landscape. The HRBP role needs to shift from transactional to more strategic, focusing on skills like business acumen, analytics, and emerging workforce trends. However, organizational barriers can prevent HRBP effectiveness, such as outdated competency models and lack of opportunities to apply new skills. The document provides recommendations for overcoming barriers and developing key HRBP traits, including intellectual curiosity, problem-solving skills, and time management.
