Five-Part eCornell Series Focuses on HR Business Partners
Over the past year, the ILR School’s Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies (CAHRS) has worked with a group of senior HR business partners (HRBPs), chief HR officers and business leaders from across its partner companies to develop the World-Class HRBP Framework. This comprehensive model, which will be explored throughout a free, five-part eCornell webcast series, aims to define key elements of the role of HRBPs and to set a standard for what “great” looks like.
The first keynote in the series will be held on Thursday, Oct. 16, at 11 a.m.
According to CAHRS Director Bradford Bell, a large and critically important segment of the HR population serves on the frontlines of helping their companies navigate questions about the future of work. The demands of their role make it difficult for HRBPs to focus on their own development, and they do not have access to the peer communities prominent in more specialized areas.
In this series, Bell, along with fellow Human Resource Studies Professor Chris Collins and CAHRS Executive Fellow Kevin Cox, will introduce the new CAHRS World-Class HRBP Framework.
In the first keynote, Bell, Collins and Cox will provide background on the impetus for this project, discuss the process used to develop and validate the model and offer an overview of its key elements. During the webcast, attendees will have an opportunity to share their insights and ask questions.
CAHRS plans to use the framework as a launchpad to develop additional tools and resources to support HRBP excellence during a time of unprecedented change and disruption.
