Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) Development

Instructions
Your previous contributions addressing a variety of important topics outlined in all previous assignments for this course are deemed essential in supporting the business’ overall organizational structure and competitive advantage strategy. It is now time to consider developing your own HR department team to ensure they have the requisite skills and competencies necessary to perform at high levels over time. Effective and motivated HR business partners (HRBP) will be the key to translating HR and business strategy into action. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Body of Competency and Knowledge (BoCK) can be an invaluable resource to help develop and certify HR professionals. You must now explain to the management team the components of this model and how it can be leveraged to achieve operational success for the HR department. A one-hour meeting has been scheduled, and the CEO will be in attendance.

Create a 20-slide minimum PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:
Include cover, presentation agenda, conclusion, and reference list slides, all of which may count toward total slide count.

Provide a slide with an overview on the importance of having a highly-developed staff of HR business partners. Be clear with your position. Example: The Evolution of the HR Business Partner Role.

Provide 1–4 slides introducing the SHRM BoCK model and its components. Be sure to highlight each of the areas of the model. Note: It is highly recommended to insert an image of the actual SHRM BoCK model into the presentation.

Include in the remaining slides the following required presentation information:

  • Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing the specifics on the SHRM BoCK’s “Behavioral Competencies.”
  • Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing the specifics on the SHRM BoCK’s “HR Expertise: Domains 1.”
  • Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing the specifics on the SHRM BoCK’s “HR Expertise: Domains 2”
  • Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing the specifics on the SHRM BoCK’s “HR Expertise: Domains 3”
  • Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on certifying your HRBPs.

Note 1: You may use your own judgment in determining the the most adequate input for your bullet points if the input is relevant.
Note 2: DO NOT USE presentation notes for the assignment. All input will be directly placed in the presentation following the requirements noted above and below.

ADDITIONAL MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS
