In one study business executives ranked the HR function as third, after sales and customer service, as a function that makes a very significant contribution to a company’s bottom line.\n\nUnfortunately research also indicates that few HR functions have become strategic. Most still operate in a primarily administrative and tactical manner—the very work that is increasingly being outsourced. Clearly there is a gap between what business leaders and employees need from their HR departments and what HR is providing.\n\nHR functions must become more integrated into the business, with some people on the HR team assuming the role of Strategic Business Partner (SBP). Here, Dana and Jim Robinson offer guidance for HR, Organization Development and Learning professionals who aspire to transform themselves into effective Strategic Business Partners. They explain how SBPs build partnerships, based upon credibility and trust, with key organization leaders. These partnerships provide SBPs with opportunities to identify and support projects directly aligned with business goals. The success of these projects deepens the SBPs’ credibility, enabling them to be viewed as strategic partners. At this higher level of accountability, SBPs work with business leaders to form long-range business strategies and plans, creating and implementing people initiatives that link into and support the business strategies and plans.\n\nThis practical guide offers case studies, exercises, tips, and tools you can use to become a Strategic Business Partner in your organization.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1576752836\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1576752836.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Robinson, James C.|Robinson, Dana Gaines\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
