Overview

The people profession is changing. People professionals are expected to deliver pragmatic and measurable solutions that support and add greater value to the business. Effective business partnering boosts efficiencies, ensures cost effectiveness and enables the meeting of organisation-wide targets. 

Designed in conjunction with highly experienced people professionals and Giles O’Halloran, the CIPD’s Lead Tutor for Business Partnering, this course shares the basics of how to become the effective HR, L&D and OD Business Partner your organisation expects you to be.

You’ll develop business credibility, agility and the skills required to build effective relationships across your organisation, including how to demonstrate and communicate your HR function’s value in a constantly changing business world.

Using practical case studies, you’ll put learning into practice and present solutions to challenges and obstacles.
