Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training that Works

“LSA Global was the first consulting firm (out of 6 who we tried previously) that was able to effectively help our HR Leadership Team to develop a clear strategy and plan that was tied to the business priorities while allowing us to quickly scale and use Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training to collaborate in our fast moving, complex and high demand environment.

More importantly they were able to help us to define the critical few processes and an engagement model that enabled us to stay aligned as an organization. LSA is at the top percentile of my list when it comes to helping leadership teams get aligned and execute.”

Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training
Most HR professionals find it difficult to effectively influence business unit executives.

Our research shows that 75% of business unit leaders perceive the HR function and HR professionals as transactional and administrative workers incapable of helping them meet their key business priorities. HR business partner skills training can help.

This is a shame. The HR function has a wonderful opportunity to positively impact the business. More than 75% of the average company’s market value is derived from intangible assets. McLean & Company found that when HR is a strategic partner with the business, organizations are:

1.5x more likely to be highly effective at change management.
1.3x more likely to be highly effective at generating and implementing new ideas.
1.3x more likely to be highly effective at diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Today’s businesses compete as much on the strength and agility of their human capital as on their financial capital. Proactive and strategic HR Functions should drive performance, accelerate business initiatives, and mitigate risk.

LSA Global has a proven track record of helping HR functions to create clarity, alignment, commitment, and buy-in while taking HR skills to the next level.
