Three critical trends are driving increased pressure on HRBPs in 2025: large-scale business transformation as the path to growth, AI deployment challenges and shifting labor market dynamics.
With a majority of CEOs prioritizing growth and planning new strategies, HRBPs are facing mounting pressure to address the workforce implications of transformation goals at the BU level. The promise of GenAI for productivity gains is met with barriers like skill gaps and change fatigue, and persistent labor shortages, mismatched skills and evolving employee expectations exacerbate workforce planning challenges.
HRBPs can improve strategic alignment by adopting roles that emphasize strategic thinking, data analysis and relationship management. This involves focusing on strategic priorities, engaging in strategic projects and managing employee relations effectively.
The HR operating model influences the role of HRBPs by defining the structure, processes and strategies that guide HR functions. A well-defined operating model enables HRBPs to align their roles with strategic business objectives, ensuring that HR initiatives are effectively integrated into the organization’s overall strategy.
Drive stronger performance on your mission-critical priorities.
