HR as Business Partner

Role of Human Resources is much wider than just supporting the manager and

it has to build a regular HR Business Partnering concept as it seen by the

managers as the valuable partner for the business.

The HR Business Partnering is about changing the focus of Human Resources.

About the proactive approach of both partners, it is not about the requests of

the business leader and potential solutions finding from Human Resources.

Human Resources has to act the proactive role in the organization as it is

partially responsible for the corporate culture and the performance

management in the organization.

HR has to fight for its position as the department valuable to listen to. It is not

built from a day to day, it takes months and years to implement the concept.

Have to learn the details about their partners.

The role of the HR function is to enable the organization to achieve its objectives by taking initiatives and providing guidance and support on all matters relating to its employees.

The basic aim is to ensure that management deals effectively with everything concerning the employment and development of people and the relationships that exist between management and the workforce.

A further key role for the HR function is to play a major part in the creation of an environment that enables people to make the best use of their capacities and to realize their potential to the benefit of both the organization and themselves.
