Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies

HR business partners (HRBPs), a large and critically important segment of the HR population, serve on the frontlines of helping companies navigate the future of work, yet often lack development resources and peer communities common in specialized HR areas. To address this gap, Cornell's Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies (CAHRS) has collaborated with senior HRBPs, chief HR officers, and business leaders across partner companies to develop the World-Class HRBP Framework, defining key elements of the role and setting standards for excellence.
