  1. 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. HRBP is responsible for aligning business objectives with employees and management in designated business units. The HRBP maintains an effective level of business literacy about the business unit's financial position, its midrange plans, its culture and its competition.

  2. Attractive topic Tharindu. Explained all the things nicely. If I add something, To assess the value of an HR business partner, a company must focus on results rather than a continuous process. Various experts have offered their perspectives on the HR business partner model, but the main goal is how companies accept change. The HR partner is a counselor, a thinker, and a tactical planner who must learn new skills and evolve into the best presenter, thinker, and transformer possible.

  3. Nice article. These things make a respectable HR business partner. Understand the business as well as the senior management team. A good HR business partner knows their stuff – not just the rule and reward, but how change happens and how to occupy people. They can determine how an intervention will work in that business.

  8. It is the HR Business Partner's responsibility to assist the firm in winning in the marketplace, not to perform HR tasks such as establishing purpose and belonging. If the organization does not thrive in the marketplace, there is no goal, no purpose, and no teamwork. Being a business partner is predicated on the notion that there is no motivation and no chance.
