Product Description
Review
"The original book has proved to be very valuable for my HR business partner clients, both in discussing the guiding concepts and ideas and in providing practical methods and tools to make the theory work in daily practice. It's the hands-on approach that makes it a book that practitioners actually read and reread" Wilfred Verweij MSc, Senior Learning Consultant/Lecturer, Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus University, The Netherlands
"As the BP role has evolved, this pragmatic and insightful approach captures the essence of the changes in the function and offers guidance on embedding it into the organisation to produce fully effective HR partners." Gill Whensley, Chartered FCIPD and HR Director, Spofforths LLP
"Business Partnering is both a mindset and a skill set - especially the ability to build and maintain effective value-adding business relationships. In a very real sense the authors are helping to move the field of Business Partnering forward by describing not just the 'what' and the 'why' of Business Partnering but also the 'how'." Linda Holbeche, HR Professional and former Director of Research and Policy, CIPD, UK

This very practical book is an excellent and comprehensive 'how to' manual for HR professionals looking to raise their game. It offers some very powerful and sophisticated tools very accessibly. I particularly like the checklists at the end of each chapter.

In HR - The Business Partner, Barbara Kenton and Jane Yarnall give us a practical and easy to follow guide for the Consultant - Client relationship.
Covering such aspects as Shaping the Business Partnership, Developing the Key Skills and Assessing Your Progress, this is an immensely useful book with very accessible language and some great examples and case studies. With a helpful summary at the end of each chapter we are taken through the early stages of gaining entry, the fundamentals such as what is consultancy, to issues and implications in times of change.
The authors draw on their clearly wide ranging knowledge and experience and well chosen research to focus on the changing relationship for HR in the business world, working alongside management and staff in a partnership. As we are aware, this is a relationship that is fraught with challenges but in HR - The Business Partner, we are presented with logical solutions and suggestions for taking that relationship forward.
If you work with people....this book should be on your desk.
