Note: The maximum impact on talent and financial outcomes is calculated by comparing two statistical estimates: the predicted impact when an HR business partner is rated with a relatively “high” score and the predicted value when an HR business partner is rated with a relatively “low” score. The effects of all drivers are modeled using a variety of multiple regressions with controls. HRBP strategic effectiveness represents the mean rating by line leaders of HRBPs across strategic activities. Data ranges reflect a 95% confidence interval.

Interpreting the Relationship Between HRBP Strategic Effectiveness and Business Outcomes: There is a positive relationship between an HRBP’s strategic effectiveness, as measured by a line manager, and a business unit’s talent and financial outcomes. We have observed this relationship in multiple studies across the past decade, including Creating Talent Champions and Building Next-Generation HR-Line Partnerships.
