Effective HR business partners act as strategic advisors and change agents who work collaboratively with business unit and functional leaders to plan and execute all human capital elements across the business. The Hackett Group's 2011 HR Business Partner performance study will capture and compare the characteristics of effective HR business partners. Participate in the study to assess how your HR business partnering strategy, practices and results compare with other organizations.

By participating in our HR Business Partner Performance study, you will learn:

  • Strategies, best practices, and results of top-performing HR business partners
  • Characteristics of top-performing HR business partnering organizations and individuals
  • How your HR business partner skills profiles compare with other organizations
  • Common impediments to business partnering and how to overcome them

This study will cover the following specific themes:

  • Business Partner education, work experience, tenure and turnover
  • Time spent on key activities
  • Critical business, HR and interpersonal knowledge and skills
  • Business Partner identification, development and appraisal practices
  • Key challenges and issues
  • Benefits realized

Study participants will receive a customized report of their performance relative to the aggregate results of other study participants including top performers and an exclusive invitation to a one-on-one readout to discuss key findings from the research with members of the performance study team.

Please be assured that your responses will remain completely confidential and will be used only in combination with those of other survey respondents to develop a composite picture of the findings. For more information about the HR Business Partner study, contact Mimi Kelly.
