How To SUCCESSFULLY Business Partner Stakeholders (Human Resources Business Partner) S1:E1

[@SanjaWilliams]

🎯Hi all. I have been ill all this week (you may notice it in my voice 🤧) but I have managed to create this video yesterday (and edit too which can take hours to be honest but I enjoy it 🛠). I did not know until yesterday that this video would lead me to create an HRBP series focusing on everything we do, create in our roles. My video - day in the life of HRBP (which is not a life style video btw) - did so well. I received so many comments and messages that there is clearly an interest and many of you are Business Partners, or aspiring Business Partners. More detail in the description box. I will be publishing other videos too but I wanted to have a dedicated series focusing on HRBP role. I have also started to pull together video ideas for a start up series and what start ups need to be mindful of from an HR perspective when setting up and growing their business. This is technically a consultancy type role that I would like to do full time in the future so I thought I can create content and videos and not wait for a full time role to land in this field. Let me know your views and questions. Best wishes. Sanja ☕

Hello

[@estherelufowoju3166]

Sanja I have only just bumped into your video today. I am a Business Partner myself but have found your channel very informative, well structured and professional. This particular topic I have always struggled with it when ask at inteviews how do you maintain relationship with stakeholders? Mind you I am a contract therefore then to interview every now and then when a particular contract ends. Thanks so much I will look and invest in the tools you have it is really worth it.

Thank you Esther. It’s much appreciated. Interviews are always tricky but there is a way to manage it.

Really helpful, I have recently changed my job and following your approach.

[@SanjaWilliams]

Thank you for watching. Let me know how you get on. It has worked really well for me over the last 5 years, I get quite good feedback about my working style as I invest so much upfront and minimise any overthinking. I often ask for feedback upfront too which does help with minimising any anxiety. So learning and asking at the same time is a key strategy for me. Good luck in your new role! Keep in touch. S.

Hi Sanja - Amazing! Any book recommendations to sharpen up HRBP skills ?

[@SanjaWilliams]

Hi Shruti, I would suggest any books on organisations design, strategic workforce planning, stakeholder management, problem solving, critical thinking, business cases, creating and innovation is a great start. I am slowly writing a book for HRBPs but won’t be published any time soon. Subscribe to my newsletter to keep in touch: www.focusyourself.co.uk
