Today's organizational structures are becoming more and more complex. The globalization has emerged as the platform of a modern businesses. With the impact of workforce diversity as a main component of current market, there are dilemmas on the effectiveness of navigating the global organizational goals in every enterprise.
Globalization became apparent that there is a competency gap within the Human Resources Management and the Business Units in relation to business acumen. It became apparent that 'business acumen' is a deficiency in many HR organizations.
Is 'business acumen' really a part of the Human Resources Management? Many HR professionals' organizational purpose was to push and file papers that are brought into their desk. Yes, it is time to transform this role and become a participant in the business arena. Acquire the skills and knowledge that reflect business mindset.
Strategically, if your objective was to maximize at the fullest the capability and effectiveness of people who work in your organization. Then think and act strategically. Integrate both HR management and business principles into your environment. This will require a demonstration of the financial acumen that relates to the human capital and looking into the bigger landscape of your organization. Aligning these to your overall business objectives that begins from business units to the top of the organization.
When renaming my 'Generalist' as HR Business Partner, would it align my organization to having competencies with 'business acumen'? It is suggested to review thoroughly the day-to-day functions of your Generalist. Majority of people in this role do not demonstrate a skill of a business partner. In the preceding paragraph it provided some cues on strategic mindset that integrate human capital, business, and bigger landscape.
Hiring HR Business Partner became a fashion among many organizations that went out in droves advertising their need of a HR Business Partner. They thought that there are zillions of people with that competencies. However, there were many unrealistic truth among organizations. When an organization advertises a job that calls a 'strategic mindset' the job functions do not measure up to the intended position because it asks for a tactically demonstrated skills plus some blurbs of partnerships and strategic. These descriptions alone are factual evidence of lack of knowledge and competencies in defining what is a strategic role as HR Business Partner.
