Programme: HR business partner skills

Effective HR business partnering is about developing a new mindset and new skills rather than adopting a model. Building on a consultative approach with other managers and the organisation, business partners think strategically and draw on their credibility to influence at a senior level. With insights from Roffey Park’s 2009 and 2010 research, this programme will help you to develop the skills and behaviour necessary for your HR role to contribute even more to the success of your organisation.

This programme combines an in depth grasp of HR business partnering, with the skills of internal consultancy, to ensure you gain all the essentials for being an effective Business Partner.

Approximately 3 months after the first part of the programme, participants re-connect either be at Roffey Park or as a web conference for a day. It provides the opportunity to benefit from the support and challenge of fellow participants on the actions you’ve taken following the course, as well as to adding to your learning, and practicing the facilitation and feedback skills you’ve gained.*
