What's Holding Back True Human Resources Partnerships?
Tuesday Nov 24, 2015
Tuesday Nov 24, 2015

Amid these diametrically opposed concepts comes the HRBP– a role designed to serve as a conduit between the tactical and the strategic functions of both HR and the business.
So what’s holding back HRBPs? Is it the skills gap associated with training generalists to become strategists? Is it a lack of organizational enablement or recognition of the strategic power of the role?
