I would like you to know that the program and the wealth of information that is shared by you and Patricia has been so far very valuable and I am able to apply to many projects that I have been leading within my organization. Thanks so much!!
-
The HRBP helped me to apply learnings in my current role by being proactive versus reactive and providing solutions to the teams I worked with has been increased. I am viewed as a trusted advisor and a leader on my teams. This program provided specifics as to what an HRBP is outside of the definition. Great examples and shared learnings from a group perspective. Many skills were learned and I think a very important skill of the HRBP role is relationship building. My facilitator, Toni Ford shared her experiences which brought the concepts to life.Would recommend it highly.
