HR Business Partner (HRPB)
“HR business partners” (HRBPs) are people professionals. They work closely with the business areas of an organization to continuously empower its people capabilities. Their mandate captures the needs of people; it also prioritizes, plans, and refines the talent development approaches that maximize business outcomes. They are at the frontline of today’s talent strategy—representing the fastest-growing role in a given profession and, in many organizations, the most pivotal.

Balance strategy and execution
