The role of the HR Business Partner (HRBP) has evolved through the years, and there are definite advantages to the role, according to a new report.
Organizations that employ HRBPs in high-level, strategic, “problem-oriented” roles are “twice as likely to exceed financial targets, 12 times more likely to accomplish high levels of workforce productivity, and seven times more likely to adapt well to change.”
However, there are several challenges standing in the way, including gaining respect from other leaders and embracing data analysis, according to the Josh Bersin Company report, based on over 55,000 comments from HR professionals.
