Operating as a Business Partner requires a vastly different array of skills compared to more transactional forms of HR service delivery.

According to the CIPD, the Business Partner model is the most commonly adopted service delivery model, with almost 50% of organisations employing business partners across their workforce.

Business Partnering requires a much deeper and broader understanding of your organisation, the ability to work alongside all levels of management, greater self-awareness and impact, expertise in creating and leading change and the maintenance of a business focus. Not an easy set of skills to develop! Through strategic awareness and solid HR understanding, Business partnering provides a crucial link between an organisation’s overall goals and its people practices.

Delivered on a modular basis our programme will equip HR professionals with the skills, tools and techniques to become true HR business partners.

Each module is highly practical is designed to continually build knowledge whilst allowing space between modules to put the learning into practice.

The programme will enhance commercial awareness, raise strategic thinking abilities and give HR Professionals the confidence to speak the language of the business.

The programme is also supported by 1:1 coaching sessions.
