The definition of a HR business partner is an experienced human resource professional who works directly with an organization's senior leadership to develop and direct an HR agenda that closely supports organizational goals. An HR business partner is a senior professional focused on using human resources to help a business unit succeed. In dealing with hiring, for example, an HR business partner may work with executives and business unit leaders to develop a plan for what types of candidates to recruit, interview, and hire to increase diversity or bring new skill sets into the company. The HR director serves in an executive position and creates policies in areas such as productivity, discipline, benefits, payroll, and compliance. In the hiring example, the HR director would be responsible for reviewing the organization’s salary and benefits structure in the context of the overall budget. The HR manager has day-to-day responsibility for enforcing human resources policy. During hiring, an HR manager would help business units decide which candidate to hire for a given role.
