HR Business Partner Interview Question:

Tell us in your opinion, what are the most important qualities and skills of a successful HR Business Partner?

Submitted by: Muhammad

I believe that the best HR Business Partners are those who have been successful people leaders in the past.

The list of essential skills is vast: high emotional intelligence, common sense, financial acumen, an ability to juggle and prioritize many tasks, listening skills, coaching skills, a sense of urgency, and strong customer focus. In roles that have a high requirement to understand Labour Relations, it helps to have some background in that field. Having the common sense to know when to engage legal counsel is vital, too.

We tend to be the kind of people who are not satisfied with the status quo. We possess a strong orientation towards understanding not just the entire spectrum of the HR department, but the inner workings of the business units we support.
