The Programme in Detail
This programme is delivered online, across 2 full days.
DAY 1
AM – The Role of the HRBP
- Clarity of HR’s purpose, vision and values
- Explore the core purpose of the HRBP: the role of the HRBP versus where most time and effort is spent
- Identify key attitudes of great HRBPs.
PM – CRF’s Strategic Framework for HR
- You will simulate a senior management meeting to explore your organisational analysis and understand key business inputs – business imperatives, external environment, internal climate, resources, etc.
- You will look at perspectives from other members of the management team to explore how HR can add value to these conversations and not simply respond to HR-related questions.
- You will then look at how to influence decision making and manage expectations to generate greater impact.
DAY 2
AM – CRF’s Strategic Framework for HR (continued)
- In the second half of the simulation you will explore the business analysis carried out on day one and its implications for HR.
- This will include:
- The assessment of capability versus organisational challenges
- The necessity of evidence in decision making
- The value of communication, involvement and ownership
- The importance of prioritisation and measuring business outcomes, versus HR processes.
PM – Future and on-going development
We will work with you to create a longer-term and developmental career agenda for yourself and colleagues.
Who Should Enrol?
Attendees will be existing HR Business Partners, specialists moving into the role, or HR Managers preparing for a more strategic position. We expect all attendees to be technically proficient in HR.

Testimonials
The programme challenged me, made me think differently, and I walked out with a new perspective on everything I’d learnt before. The value I got in the programme in the 2 days dwarfed the impact that several years of CIPD qualifications had given me…

The course itself was thought provoking, informative and hit the mark in terms of why HRBPs are a valuable part of any business and how we as professionals can develop this even further.

I have learnt a great deal from the training. It has helped me understand what I need to do, how I need to think and what I need to say when making that step up from HR Generalist to BP level. Now the exciting part…to put it into practise! The 2 days were truly amazing.
