AMA about what actually goes behind those rangolis in the HR dept and work that better compensated people in HR do.
Why are you called HRBP and not HR managers?
Manager is a designation, business partner is a role.
Most companies have diluted HRBP role these days by disguising it under a line HR role.
HRBPs are supposed to be enablers and partners of business. They are expected to deal with Business Managers, Employees and Management and strike a balance in driving the organisation strategy forward.
Limited roles exist in the market where you get to work on good stuff.
As an HRBP of 3 years work ex, I stand by this. We don’t deal in administration, talent acquisition or creating engagement activities. We facilitate, create and drive strategic interventions ranging from attrition control to learning and development.

@Chanakya i feel I should be asking such questions to my skip level manager or someone with position of influence.
From my experience I feel that my trajectory within org is decided by some VP and my manager. Do hrbp hood any influence in promo/hike?
Why not give higher raises and screw the company instead of screwing your fellow colleagues?
Better answered by the CFO.
With whatever budget is allotted, we create different scenarios of how the budget can be utilised better.
Every appraisal cycle has a theme where we try to address some issues.
Lot of simulation happens in utilising the available budget.
We create lot of presentations too for which the data needs to be very very accurate.
This has actually been happening in many companies including Big-Tech..One fine day they discover that they are stuck with overpriced, unproductive and entitled employees who are not adding real value. Then they let go thousands and the cycle continues..
Have seen many lazy ass HR's who don't even bother to listen employees problem why don't they support much?
Hi grapevine community. Need your inputs. My sister has done MBA in human resources and has been working as a recruiter. For last couple of months she is trying to switch but there are not enough opportunities out there or she is not get...
