About Human Resource Business Partners
In our HR business model, each area of the University has an assigned Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP).
This allows the business partner to become familiar with the operations and issues in the areas they serve. Your HR Business Partner is a subject matter expert on navigating people and relationships. They have working relationships with other subject matter experts to use as resources.
