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.
What according to you does the future of work in India look like considering the environment we all just went through?

Lots of them. Here's a partial list of what I've dealt with:
Wow, that's a lot to be going through. Do any of these end up affecting you personally?

Some of the questions may seem more pointed at your reporting manager but trust me, it does help when you ask them to an HRBP because he/she gets asked on these questions very frequently and this becomes a topic of discussion with the mangers
@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..
This dept is obsolete and not required the dept head should given responsibility to hire right person and other functional things they look into can be replaced with simple softwares like #kelaHr or #Zing . some startUp have taken bold ...
