The document discusses how human resources (HR) departments can transform into strategic business partners. It provides recommendations for HR to develop business acumen, improve service delivery, leverage technology, build personal credibility, and make strategic contributions. HR must understand business issues, restructure client services, implement applicant tracking systems, and establish themselves as leaders to effectively partner with other departments and add value to the organization. Support from top managers is also needed for HR to fully transition into a strategic role.
The document discusses the HR business partner model proposed by David Ulrich in 1997. The model redefined the roles of HR professionals to focus on strategic planning and adding business value by supporting organizational goals, recruiting and developing employees, rather than administrative tasks. An HR business partner works closely with senior leadership and the board to ensure HR policies support business objectives. The model requires strong communication skills from HR professionals to advocate for people-focused policies and decisions.
This document discusses people, strategy, and workforce planning. It covers several topics: allowing flexible working arrangements and compassion for employees' responsibilities outside of work during difficult times; developing an HR strategy aligned with the overall business strategy; and the need for workforce planning to ensure the right people are in the right roles. Workforce planning touches on attracting, recruiting, onboarding, developing, and retaining employees over their career lifecycle.
Frequently, a wide hole exists between the HR procedure of an association and what precisely is required by the business methodology on the HR front. Since the ability of the right demeanor and responsibility is needed to execute the technique, misalignment doesn't allow this reality to occur. The individuals who can impact the arrangement, regularly come way in front of others. Absence of viable Skills and Development. Associations hiring professionals with inconsistent degrees of abilities and ability is seen as another significant hindrance in adjusting the business and HR vital goal. In this unique situation, improper determination, recruiting, and preparing methodology leads towards helpless human asset advancement
HR departments will become more focused on the outcomes of their actions — the effect
of what they do on the corporation versus the effect of what they do on HR.
In today’s business landscape, the longstanding functions of human resources are changing. Because employee information processing and compensation coordination are now largely automated, human resources departments in many large organizations now have the time necessary to take on new responsibilities, with duties more aligned to those of a “strategic partner.”
The document discusses the strategic role of HR and how it must link to business strategy, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It emphasizes that the HR strategy should evolve from the organizational strategy. It also highlights some effective HR practices for driving growth, such as centralizing policies, competency-focused restructuring, and aligning HR practices with strategic business objectives. Finally, it discusses the emerging role of HR and skills needed for HR to become a strategic business partner, including business knowledge, communication skills, and leadership skills.

Why HR needs to shed its Toby Flenderson image?Pradeep Sahay
HR needs to shed its image as represented by Toby Flenderson in The Office, which is soft-spoken and tells people what not to do. HR is at a crossroads and crippled with an inability to adapt to changing business needs. For HR to provide real business value, it needs to become more business-aligned, financially-oriented, and accountable by focusing on talent management and outcomes rather than administrative activities. The future of HR requires professionals with business, finance, technology, and risk-taking skills who can help organizations adapt to changing economic conditions.

The role of HR is evolving from administrative tasks to strategic business partner. As organizations face constant change, HR must reduce gaps between management and employees. HR should be involved in all aspects of business planning by analyzing future skill needs, developing internal talent, and attracting external hires. Retention strategies like competitive pay and development opportunities are important. For HR to effectively partner with business strategy, it is crucial to understand company goals, leverage data, adopt new technologies, ensure alignment between strategy and actions, and consider HR interventions' impact on corporate goals like R&D. Viewing employees as human capital that enhances competitive advantage allows HR to provide intangible benefits such as increased market share and customer satisfaction.
The document discusses the evolving role of human resources (HR) professionals in organizations. Traditionally, HR served an administrative role aligned with executive management, but was viewed negatively by other employees. However, the role of HR is transforming to meet the changing needs of modern organizations. Successful HR professionals now serve as strategic partners, employee advocates, and change mentors by contributing to strategic planning, fostering employee motivation and development, and championing organizational change.
The definition of a HR business partner is an experienced human resource professional who works directly with an organization's senior leadership to develop and direct an HR agenda that closely supports organizational goals. Rather than working primarily as part of the internal human resources department, the HR business partner works closely with senior leadership, perhaps sitting on the board of directors or collaborating regularly with the C-suite. Placing a human resources professional in close contact with executive leadership makes HR a part of the organizational strategy. The business partner model for human resources is becoming more and more popular among business organizations
The document summarizes the HR scorecard framework, which measures HR's contribution to organizational performance similar to the balanced scorecard. It describes traditional issues with viewing HR, and introduces the HR scorecard as addressing this by linking HR activities and investments to business strategy. The 7-step model and benefits of the HR scorecard are outlined, along with a case study of its implementation at Verizon.
Human resource management systems operate throughout an employee's tenure with a company, from recruitment and selection through employment management including rewards, appraisals, industrial relations, and termination of employment through retirement, resignation, redundancy, or dismissal. The role of the human resources professional has evolved from administrative personnel functions to strategic partner, employee advocate, change champion, coach, and training and development specialist in order to support organizational strategy, create an environment where employees can succeed and contribute, enable successful change initiatives, provide feedback to managers, and develop employee skills.

Why hr is important in manufacturing industryOpportuneHR
When the HR plays a strategic role, it impacts the whole organisation. Production processes get smoother, new manufacturing practices gets accepted, unions and the workforce appreciate the respect shown by management, they understand the intent and reciprocate.

The document discusses how the 2010s will be known as the "Decade of HR" as irrefutable business facts and evidence show that HR practices make a significant impact on organizational performance. It highlights how people are the primary drivers of business results and the strategic role of HR Business Partners in improving the workforce to help business units execute strategy. To fully capitalize on this opportunity, HR needs to focus on developing HRBP skills, driving business outcomes with data, and shaping cultures and workplaces that enable organizations to adapt and succeed.

WHY HR SHOULD BE A STRATEGIC PARTNER AT MACROENTERPRISE
Another key reason as to why human resource should be a strategic partner at a macro enterprise relates to issues concerning funds within an a organization,
Human resource can justify the usage of funds within a business enterprise.
For instance, it can justify why a certain project requires a certain amount of funds and why a certain amount should be allocated to certain projects and not others.
It can help in proper distribution of an organizations financial resources.
Through human resource, funding of training, implementation of competitive salaries, employee development programs can be effected.

Is your company’s human resources operation a true “business partner” that makes a major contribution to your bottom line? Or does it merely fulfil the daily tasks of hiring, firing and paying your employees? If the latter, don’t worry – that can change. So say the human resources experts who founded the RBL Group and the RBL Institute, a consultancy and an educational organization dedicated to helping HR leaders attain new levels of professionalism. Using the institute’s tools and tactics, you can “transform” your human resources department into a valued, knowledgeable and contributing member of your corporate team. While you don’t have to be a human resources professional to benefit from this book, its HR-speak presents a pretty dense thicket that might daunt a novice.

HR plays a key role in helping organizations meet strategic goals by understanding employee values and maximizing productivity. To demonstrate their strategic value, HR should align their approach with the business strategy, carefully manage human capital, and focus on strategic priorities like talent management. Adopting standardized HR processes and an HR management system allows HR to provide consistent reporting, freeing them to focus on strategic initiatives. Understanding generational differences and adapting tools and strategies accordingly also helps HR better support organizational goals.

1. The current business environment forces companies to quickly adjust their strategies in
order to assure survival. Some will readjust their business model, some will cut down costs.
To all these spontaneous short term transformations the HR function has to provide
effective solutions. One of the strongest drives of change within an organization is aligning
HR function objectives with the business strategy.
The restructuring of the HR function roles and responsibilities typically follows the changes
in the company's business strategies. In order to adapt at a fast pace and sustain all the
changing needs, the HR function has to develop a strategic business partner role.
Until now the HR focus was mostly on the administrative side in most companies,
performing daily operational activities such as: compensation and benefits, payroll,
personnel files administration, communicating policies and procedures to employees a.s.o
What is the role of a strategic business partner?
But how can the HR function be transformed into a strategic business partner for the entire
business? Find below some recommendations:
• Adjusting HR strategies to respond to changing needs
• Identifying critical HR metrics and new business strategies
• Identifying talent issues before they affect the business
• Prioritizing across HR needs
• Redesigning structures around strategic objectives
• Understanding the talent needs of the business

Certain competences have to be developed in order to find creative solutions to business
problems and to be able to measure and track the transformation strategies. According to
our experience, business acumen, metrics use and development and innovation are the
main competencies to be developed amongst Romanian HR specialists.
We learned from our experience on different projects that measuring the HR Performance is
one of the critical areas that needs to be acted upon. In the "Year of CFO" HR specialists
2. have to acquire data analysis and recordkeeping skills, track cost and return on investment
(ROI) for their HR initiatives.
The HR department must be master of the technical and transactional aspects of developing
and delivering HR services, there must be a high degree of business know-how within the
department to enable HR to work effectively with line managers to develop solutions to
people-related business problems.
Once a HR manager has established the core competencies necessary for his or her team,
development opportunities for HR staff have to be planned and communicated in order to
facilitate team-wide understanding. In this way, managers and their reports visualize a
career path and identify easily the areas in which there are development gaps.
Participating in other departments functional meetings, extracting and linking traditional HR
metrics with core functions' specific metrics, enables HR to respond quickly to any business
changes and provides effective solutions to the company optimization.
Now more than ever HR staff has to gain Business Acumen capabilities in order to efficiently
work with line managers, deliver results and optimize costs and processes.
3. Human resources should be defined not by what it does but by what it delivers.” This
provocative assertion was made by Dave Ulrich, author and thought leader, about the
future of the human resources (HR) function in the workplace. What exactly does this
mean? For all individuals who hold HR responsibilities in their organizations, it means that,
because the role of human resources continues to evolve, its value should be defined by the
contribution it makes to organizational effectiveness and not simply by historical measures,
like the turnover rate, that don’t measure effectiveness.
Traditionally, the role of human resources has been limited to such administrative functions
as recruitment, payroll, benefits administration, and workers’ compensation. Its function
also is to minimize risk as it pertains to potential harassment, discrimination, and/or
wrongful discharge issues. This largely process-driven role for HR has been endorsed for
several years by a majority of top administrative officers in local government, as in the
private sector.
With recent trends toward the outsourcing of functions, however, the future of human
resources is at a critical juncture: should it try to hang onto the past and risk becoming
marginalized, or embrace a new future that requires different competencies? There is an
unambiguous imperative confronting individuals responsible for running or overseeing HR:
Rethink the HR function’s structure, services, and programs in order to add value to today’s
organizations, or suffer the consequences.
For instance, what if Monster or Career Builder submitted an
unsolicited proposal to handle your locality’s recruitment of
new employees faster, better, and cheaper? What would your
local government’s response be? This is something to consider
and not beyond the realm of imagination.
The author has known several HR professionals over the years
who continually lobbied to gain a “seat at the table” of their
organizations’ brain trust and to help devise a strategy and
execute tactics—only to find, when they arrived at the table,
that they were not prepared. Often, they spoke HR jargon that
reduced their credibility in the eyes of their peers and
superiors.
Furthermore, their business acumen was lacking when discussions focused on the issues
that their customers (other departments and their employees) were struggling to overcome.
Combine a heavy dose of HR language with a lack of business acumen, and you get human
resource people with little influence and thus minimal value. This situation reinforces the
notion that HR services are transactional, not strategic, and therefore are feeding the trend
toward outsourcing.
To take on a more proactive, business-minded approach, HR should function as a business
partner. The business-partner approach emphasizes the fact that the HR function involves
developing systems and practices to ensure that the organization’s workforce has the
needed competencies and is motivated to perform effectively. HR must also be on the
agenda when business and organizational issues are discussed: there must be a credible
perspective on the role it plays in helping a locality anticipate and respond to pressing
issues.
Regardless of the reason,
the time is here for human
resource people to
embrace the role of leader
and not wait for
administrators to grant
them permission to do so.
They should tactfully
“crash” the party, inviting
themselves in!
4. To legitimize their seat at the table, human resources people must use terminology relevant
to the organization’s business needs and rely less on HR-speak. Moreover, they should be
able to comfortably make transitions between macro- and micro-issues; in this way, they
will contribute strategies and tactics that will help improve the performance of their
organizations.
Several recent studies have addressed the new competencies required by the HR function as
it strives to be a strategic business partner. In addition to HR professionals’ acquiring new
competencies, however, the function itself must be revised so as to integrate these new
competencies and to provide services in a manner that adds value. One competency that
must be addressed is that of leadership.
Traditionally, HR professionals have chosen not to be strong, assertive organizational
leaders. Maybe they tried this in the past and were summarily dismissed by their peers or
even by city or county managers. Regardless of the reason, the time is here for human
resource people to embrace the role of leader and not wait for administrators to grant them
permission to do so. They should tactfully “crash” the party, inviting themselves in!
Seemingly, the leader and strategic business-partner roles present a problem similar to the
chicken-and-egg question: Which comes first? Actually, the two have a reciprocal
relationship, and being an effective leader can strengthen a person’s strategic business-
partner role, as well as vice versa.
BEING A STRATEGIC PARTNER IS AN OUTCOME
It is not enough simply to refer to oneself as a strategic partner. To actually be one is the
result of performing a variety of responsibilities; in other words, it is an outcome. Managers
need to recognize that these major responsibilities are involved:
Business knowledge. As any manager would agree, a local government’s HR professionals
must understand their organizations in particular and government in general, so as to make
strategic contributions. Those who can offer business acumen on non-HR subjects will come
to be viewed by operating departments as credible partners. Granted, it can be a full-time
job just to stay up with all the latest issues affecting the field of human resources, what with
court cases, changing federal and state laws, and so forth. So what can administrators
suggest to HR directors and members of their staff so they can become conversant with
issues influencing their departments?
Managers can recommend that these steps be taken immediately by human resources
professionals:
Regularly attend staff meetings for operating departments. Before attending its first
meeting, HR should chat with the senior manager in charge of the meetings, and let
this manager know that HR is genuinely interested in learning more and, by attending
these meetings, will increase its level of understanding and thus become more
effective. Once people at the meeting realize that HR’s presence does not indicate
that someone is in trouble, they should begin viewing an HR attendee differently. A
key here is attending regularly, not simply when it is convenient. Remember, HR
practitioners are going to these meetings to listen and learn and not necessarily to
contribute, until they are more seasoned and able to do so.
Meet with senior managers of departments, and ask a series of questions related to
budgets, work processes, management practices, and operational matters.
5. Find mentors for themselves from other departments.
Mentor employees in other departments.
Instead of attending another HR-related conference, buddy up and join a department
director, attending one of his/her conferences.
Read periodicals that HR’s customers (other departments) are reading, to stay current
on their issues and on potential solutions.
Participate in a job-shadowing program. (While serving as assistant city manager and
HR director, the author began a program entitled “My Day to SWITCH” (Stop Working
In The City Hall). During this initiative, I worked alongside field employees for two
days a month. I progressed down the list of employees alphabetically so as not to give
any hint of favoritism, and I now remember some of those days as the most valuable
in more than 15 years of government service.)
HR delivery. Already a strong suit for seasoned HR professionals, this area focuses on the
principles of human resource management: staffing (attracting, promoting, and retaining
strong performers); designing and implementing programs that facilitate change; and
managing employee performance.
A manager’s recommended steps for HR should include:
Revisit the structure of the HR department, and institute
client service teams that support a number of
departments. At a minimum, each team should comprise
an analyst and administrative support personnel and
should provide the normal daily services to the
department managers it supports. In addition, create
“centers of expertise” for classification and compensation,
training and development, and workplace safety; these
centers should comprise HR specialists who support the
client service teams. HR must get (and stay) closer to its
customers in order to provide better value.
Explore innovative practices to relax the sometimes-constraining forces of the usual
civil-service system. Give hiring managers more discretion by moving away from the
rule of 3 and rule of 5, to the rule of 10, when hiring new employees from a civil-
service list.
Offer behaviorally based training in interviewing to all employees responsible for
hiring.
Encourage the use of effective selection tools to ensure high-quality hires.
Design and implement a systematic and comprehensive approach to succession
planning, which is not about playing favorites or fostering an entitlement atmosphere
for incumbents. Instead, it is an open, results-based development process for building
talent within the local government.
Introduce competencies (combinations of smarts, skills, attitudes, and behaviors) to
the organization, and integrate them into recruitment and promotional processes, as
well as into the performance evaluation system.
Develop a robust training and development program for all employees.
While turnover can be a
valuable metric, what
actions is the organization
taking as a result of
analyzing this type of
information? Turnover
should be tracked by
department, occupation,
and manager; then, based
on trends, a response
should occur.
6. Revise the existing performance evaluation system, incorporating changes that focus
more on results and less on activities. Preach that performance management is a
process, not an annual event. For those in supervisory and management positions,
concentrate a larger portion of their evaluations on their ability to manage and lead a
team and less on their individual performance.
Augment their knowledge of effective organizational development principles and
practices, and become a change adviser to departments trying to improve operations
or introduce new programs.
Implement meaningful performance measures. While turnover can be a valuable
metric, what actions is the organization taking as a result of analyzing this type of
information? Turnover should be tracked by department, occupation, and manager;
then, based on trends, a response should occur. Other meaningful performance
measures include: cost per hire, time to fill a job, and workdays lost because of on-
the-job injuries.
HR technology. The “silver bullet” philosophy, which holds that technology is the solution to
any problem that befalls an organization, should be discarded. Resist the habit of relying on
IT staff to solve HR-related issues. Instead, determine how best to apply HR technology and
Web-based channels to deliver services.
Managers would do well to make these recommendations:
Implement a Web-based application process for candidates seeking employment.
Allowing applicants to print a PDF of the application, manually complete it, and then
submit it does not constitute a Web-based system. A number of applicant tracking
systems are on the market, and, beyond streamlining the process for applicants, they
also provide real-time information to hiring managers about applicants and the status
of any given recruitment. Visit www.ci.seattle.wa.us and www.sanjoseca.gov to
review some best practices concerning applicants and the Web-based application
process. While these are large organizations and the assumption is that large
organizations are more sophisticated and have more financial resources to invest in
such advancements, the fact remains that sophistication and investment have little to
do with the size of the organization and more to do with the leadership qualities of
those within the organization.
Install a robust intranet, permitting employees to register for benefits, make
noneconomic changes to personal information, and read updates on policy and
procedure changes.

7. Personal credibility. Like it or not, the most influential factor in
whether HR can be considered a strategic partner, as
determined by the hearts and minds of people in other
departments, is the characteristics of the HR professionals themselves. This being said,
much of this factor is within the control of HR supervisors and local government managers.
Credibility, in an odd way, is both an input and an output. It is an input through which
human resource people are allowed to do more value-added tasks, once they have
established credibility with the department managers they support. Similarly, it is an output
earned by mastering the competency factors that make for personal credibility.
Recommended steps that managers can take involve seeing that HR practitioners do the
following:
Meet commitments.
Ask a lot of questions to help shape an issue so that it can be solved.
Act with integrity.
Build and sustain effective working relationships throughout the organization.
Solicit feedback from customers on HR’s performance and on that of everyone
working in HR.
Train and develop HR staff members.
Balance the advocate versus the regulator role, and be more consultative when asked
a question by an employee or manager.
Strategic Contribution. For too long, too many HR professionals have not considered
themselves as leaders within their own organizations, somehow wanting their managers to
give them permission to assume the mantle of leadership. I am a firm believer that indeed
HR professionals must “get up, get out, and get on it” when it comes to leadership. Only by
taking the risk of becoming visible and having their opinions scrutinized will they step
beyond their comfort zones and truly contribute to their organizations’ effectiveness.
While city and county managers and members of their executive teams often advocate that
HR should play a more significant role in realizing this transition, these same executives will
have to accept a new way of conducting business, or progress can be difficult to achieve.
Simply said, to change HR and make it more effective is not just a matter of ”replacing all
those people who work there with new people.” And it cannot be done by changing clothes
and identities in a phone booth à la Superman.
Because HR has long arms and stretches throughout a local government, it needs support
and patience from top managers and from the workforce. Persistence and the generation of
some early victories (visible, meaningful outcomes) are crucial in convincing departments
that this newfangled strategic-partner role they’ve been hearing about is indeed here to
stay.
