Hello, I've been in HR for over 19 years as a Generalist. I recently interviewed for a new Generalist role, but I have to do a 5-minute presentation (high level) on a business case (SHRM case) to show why HR should be a strategic partner. I'm so nervous because I've never done this before. Any videos on how to begin?
Hi Stayce, thank you for your message and congratulations on your interview. Super exciting! I suggest that you book a call with me, link below (option preparation for a specific interview). I have helped someone recently in a similar situation who had to work on a presentation. It worked well for them and they did get a job. www.focusyourself.co.uk/book-online Also, I launched yesterday an HR Business Partner course that you may useful too. It will be a live/cohort based so plenty of chances to discuss all sorts of questions. More information and detail in the link below - www.focusyourself.co.uk/challenge-page/7051dbcb-4c91-4730-8a92-ab97b57c1b5a It is a very technical course with models, toolkits and with behavioural aspects too. Speak soon Sanja
Hi Cassie. The best way is to look at your resignation rate (or attrition) over the last 12 months or so to see what it may mean for the next 12 months. Also look at exit interview data/narrative if shared, to look at previous reasons as they may happen again. The only way to control resignations is to understand why it happens and see if you can change it by acting on feedback and implementing best practice employee practices together with the whole of organisation/departments. In my experience people tend to resign due to lack of progression (lateral or promotion), limited projects, or interesting/variety work offered. Plus these days it will be inflexible working practices, old fashioned working practices etc so all this needs to be taken to another level to keep people.
Hey mam your videos are really good! I need your advice, recently i did Master in human resource and joined a company they newly started a role of Human resource business partner and they hire 3 young fresher me and my collides but they not hired HRBP manager in this situation they assigned a person who didn't no idea about human resourses, she doesn't idea about what HRBP do so last three months we did many wrong things one day our boss ask me what you three did in past three months i said what we did but the boss said who said to do this really HRBP do this kind of role and boss said worst team i met our manager stay quiet when boss raise questions, so please guide me how to be successfull business partner in my organization i hope this comment will reach you i will wait for your reply mam.
This is a difficult and unfair position to find yourself in. Especially as you are developing in the role as well. If you are keen to stay where you are, it’s best to set up a meeting with the boss - who asked about progress. You could simply say, “further to our conversation, I would welcome another opportunity to discuss how to improve things. I suggest we discuss what you would like to see as well as my suggestions as to how improve things.” Something along these lines will do. You also said you all report to a manager who isn’t HR experienced. You do need to raise this point too. I would also set up a meeting with the manager in questions and simply say you are keen to help and improve things and discuss what your objectives could be. Be professional and simply helpful. If you decide to leave, then I hope this has been a lesson for you to ask all sorts of questions. Especially about the HR structure, plans etc Hope this helps. This is what I would do. Anything is better than staying silent. You will be seen as proactive and helpful.
@@SanjaWilliams mam I can't meet my boss because I m fresher so other existing HR didn't allow me to meet a boss also i can't leave in this organisation because I am fresher i joined my company three months ago If I leave that my profile got sever damage I had only option to do stay that organisation atleast more then one year and to make changes in the organisation as Human Resource Business Partner but I don't know where to start, because existing manger said to my team to take care of House keepings activities, that makes me why I should I study 20 years of education in India it make me sick every day i went to my office i studied for this only it's make me depressed, i got 7 months internship I feel very happy on that period because my HR mentors really great that things make me feel I want to become good HR now facing this kind issue i couldn't mange this thing if I raise my voice they try to terminate please guide me to get out this situation
@@Srikeshvu I see, so you work in a very hierarchical team. Here you go a couple of things to learn how to manage upward/people around you: 1. have a meeting with your immediate manager to agree objectives and expectations if possible to avoid any confusion 2. ask them how they would like to work with you, how to report progress etc (is it a weekly meeting, or an email update for example) 3. every time you meet with them and you have a meeting, summarise what you discussed and agreed. So for example, "let me summarise for my notes, you would like me to focus on x, y , z" 4. always ask for a deadline, when they expect your work to be completed by. Again this is to avoid any confusion, if you need more time, simply ask for it and explain what has happened, what you have put in place and your suggested deadline. 5. be brave to suggest solutions and ideas. Simply say "I have been thinking about x, y, z, I am keen to get your feedback." Always seek to collaborate and partner. Be helpful at the end of the day could be your line. Hope this helps for now and the next year flies by to find some else in due course unless things improve where you are.
@@SanjaWilliams i did first three things with my manger she doesn't have idea about HRBP and who is HR she said "take care of House keeping team and maintain plants cleaned make the gang way cleaned this two things majorly mentioned otherwise if I ask any questions don't raise questions against me, I stuck in this situation mam, please considering situation your working xyz manufacturing company as HRBP and I'm an junior of your team what kind of tasks you given to me for tommorow I need this kind of help

Well elaborated Sanja..

Hello how do you know the predicted figure of those who are likely to resign in the next 12 months?
Hi Cassie. The best way is to look at your resignation rate (or attrition) over the last 12 months or so to see what it may mean for the next 12 months. Also look at exit interview data/narrative if shared, to look at previous reasons as they may happen again.
