Hi all, I’ve been a human resources manager for about a decade now usually for small startups. The companies range anywhere from about 10 to 100 or so employees. I’m really looking into moving into companies that are a little bit larger, not necessarily fortune 500 companies, but more may be around the 500 mark. I’ve been looking around on the job sites and I’m seeing some human resources business partner jobs. However, the more that I look at these job descriptions, the more that I realize that I’m truly not sure what a business partner does in terms of human resources. Is it just you advising the different business units such as marketing, IT, legal, about further human resources initiatives? I don’t know how you could fill up a 40 hour work week doing this job, unless I’m truly completely misunderstanding the position in general.
