HR Business Partnering


WHooSH in conjunction with Skills Evolution (www.SkillsEvolution.co.uk) offers the following:

The Business Partnership Programme for HR Professionals

Typically, this will begin by carrying out some diagnostic work, using one to one meetings and group facilitated sessions to assess the training and development needs of the Business Partners and the function as a whole.

Following the diagnostic work, a range of solutions may be offered, which could include:

Development centres with assessment against Business Partner competencies

Using either your own set of Business Partner competencies, or our Business Partner competencies, we can tailor a development centre to focus on the competencies you want to develop. Core areas are likely to be:

  • Leading and influencing change
  • Delivering to the business
  • Working alongside managers in the business
  • Maintaining a business focus
  • Self awareness and impact

We would recommend starting this process with 360-degree feedback from the business to give the Business Partner a benchmark for their development. To follow up on the development centres, we would also recommend one to one coaching to improve the skills and performance of Business Partners.

Modular Training for Business Partners

Tailored modules include:

  • Positioning yourself with your client and developing credibility
  • Understanding and shaping the Business Partner role
  • Key consultancy skills for Business Partner
  • Advanced relationship skills for Business Partners
  • Influencing and leading change as a Business Partner
  • Reviewing and assessing Business Partner performance

All the above can also be combined in a 2-3 day programme tailored to the needs of your organisation.

The programme is led by either Barbara Kenton or Jane Yarnall, the authors of the book "HR -The Business Partner: Shaping a New Direction". They are interactive tutor-led programmes with elements of input, discussion and workshop. Further information on each of the modules listed is available on request.
