Introduction
Human resource management could be defined as the the process of managing all the
staff members who are working within the organisation. Present discussion is based upon
analysis and assessment of HR Business partner Model along with its advantages and
disadvantages.
MAIN BODY
HR Business Partner Model
This model was introduced by Dave Ulrich and the concept of modern HR was also
developed by the researcher. According to this model human resource manager plays different
roles within the organisation as it can help to carry out all the operations in systematic manner.
Discussion of all the roles is as follows:
 Strategic partner: Under this role HR will be focused with the development of strategies
for future so that the planned objectives could be attained. Apart from this, all the staff
members who are working within the enterprise are also focused so that the current
holistic could be understood (Oppel, Winter and Schreyögg, 2017).
 Change agent: Human resource manager also plays role of change agent as all the
changes which will be carried out in future will be supported by decisions of HR. For this
purpose future thinking and current holistic understanding are focused.
 Administrative expert: Under this role HR managers pay attention towards operational
activities and day to day operations of the entity so that it could be assured that all the
desired goals are accomplished systematically or not.
 Employee champion: While playing this role the HR manager tries to improve current
holistic understanding so that the strategies for appropriate execution of day to day
operations could be supported.
Advantages of the model
The main advantage of this model is that it facilitates the staff members to perform all the
day to day activities in systematic manner. Apart from this, it benefits the business as HR plays
multiple roles to support the organisation.
