HR Business Partner

As an HR Business Partner, your role is an interesting one when it comes to workforce planning. Everyone expects you to be the expert, but your job is to get them to do it - because the task is bigger than just one person. So you need to not only know almost everything about it, but also how to develop many of the skills in everyone else. That means you will need skills in:

• Building the workforce planning skills of front-line team leaders - Leadership, rostering, giving permission, managing sickness, coaching, mentoring, change management, communication etc.
• Building the workforce planning skills of managers - in developing workforce plans.
• Assisting with the interventions that will make a difference - how to recruit, encourage people to return to their careers, improve retention, change practice to introduce new or enhanced roles etc.
