Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

1,229 tools for the HR business partner in one course: 864 ready-to-use files, templates, question lists, checklists and calculators, 22 services and apps shown on screen, plus 343 models and methods.

Open a lecture, take the tool, use it in your next conversation with a business leader.

Why HRBPs are not heard

A business leader thinks in revenue, cost and risk. An HRBP who comes with a feeling that people are tired gets a polite nod. An HRBP who comes with turnover cost, a pay gap figure and a succession risk for two key roles gets a decision. The difference is the format of the argument.

What changes after this course

You bring numbers and a ready proposal. You read the business and its finance. You diagnose engagement with the right questions. You show where pay is unequal and what it costs to fix. You plan succession for key roles and lead the change that follows. For each of these there is a working file or a template you fill in.

The highlight: exam trainers and study games

The total rewards section comes with interactive files you open in a browser and play:

  • 8 exam trainers. Each lesson has a trainer with 25 questions on its topic, in a practice mode and a timed mode, with a pass line of 75%: 200 questions in all.
  • Three study games: flashcards, memory and match. Flip the cards, find term and definition pairs on a memory board, or connect the pairs against the clock. The games are built into the same 8 trainer files.

What is inside: 1,229 tools, counted file by file

You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

I have put business alignment into practice by giving HR business partners a shared goal with their business leaders. At Wargaming, I proposed that every business partner should have at least one annual goal identical to a business leader’s goal. Central HR, HR directors and the business partners accepted the proposal. When those shared goals were introduced, business leaders welcomed having HR in the same boat. This experience informs the business partnering tools in this course.

How to use the course

Watch the first three sections in order to cover the HRBP role. Then use the rest as a reference library: section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name, so you can go straight to the template or calculator you need.

What is included

  • 159 lectures across 18 sections, 87.5 hours
  • 190 downloadable resources: lecture presentations and working files
  • 1,229 tools across the lessons, ready to copy into your own work
  • 8 exam trainers with 200 questions and three study games in the total rewards section

Where to start

Take one question your business leader asked this month. Open the lecture on that topic, fill in the template with your numbers, and bring a one-page answer to the next meeting. HRBPs who argue with numbers get a seat at the table, and every proposal without them is one more polite nod. Enrol now and start your first lesson today.
