HR Business Partner Development - Talent Management

HDA UPDATES

The last few years have been a time of great change for the HR profession. Expectations of HR are changing, and the roles of HR professionals have to change with this. HR professionals are now being recognised as key contributors to an organisation’s success in delivering its wider agenda. This can only be good news for those who believe in the vital role HR has to play in ensuring we make the best use of our people to deliver organisational roles.
This new role and expectation of HR will, however have major impact on people working in HR. Traditional HR expertise is still fundamentally important, but so too are some newer skills including:
- understanding the business in which we are operating and an ability to provide people solutions to improve delivery
- facilitating change within the organisation
- aligning our HR actions with delivery
- using people information to drive organisational performance improvement.
Qualifications are neither a guarantee of, nor a substitute for the broad range of skills that today’s HR professional needs. We help HR professionals to understand their role in achieving business success

HDA’s team includes 40 highly experienced executive/business coaches who combine the right mix of commercial astuteness and coaching competency, achieved via a range of qualifications and experience
HDA’s team includes consultants with significant day-to-day experience in this area; many of our consultants having strong senior HR and business leadership backgrounds
Our coaches all have significant business experience, and they are able to seamlessly merge their successful coaching techniques with a strong mentorship approach; an effective approach in dealing with potential HR business partners
HDA has developed a strong reputation for its commercially and outcomes-focused approach to coaching business leaders, with significant behavioural development successes achieved to date – we now apply this competence to the HR community which we know well

HDA takes a strong partnership approach in delivering HR business partnership support projects, with a view to empowering managers and staff.
