Recommendations

For the statements you rated “never” or “rarely”.

    No “never” or “rarely” ratings, so the checklist has no recommendations for you. Look at the review below: statements rated 3 are your next step.

    How the checklist works

    What the checklist checks

    The checklist was created in the HR Business Partner course at Mike Pritula Academy. Its 18 statements describe the behavior a business expects from an HRBP: keeping your word, acting ahead of problems, understanding the business and its finances, relying on data, owning business results, developing talent and building trust.

    Rate how you actually work, based on the last few months, not your intentions. The more honest the ratings, the more useful the recommendations.

    Low efficiency40% or less

    Questions about the checklist

    What is an HR business partner?

    An HRBP is an HR professional assigned to a unit or a line of business. They help the leader reach business goals through people: talent, structure, culture and change.

    How long does the checklist take?

    3–5 minutes: 18 statements, each rated on a scale from 1 to 5. No sign-up and no email needed.

    How is the result calculated?

    A statement counts if you rate it 3 or higher. The percentage is the share of counted statements out of 18. Above 80% is high efficiency, above 60% optimal, above 40% sufficient, otherwise low.

    Where do the recommendations come from?

    Each statement has its own recommendation. The report includes the ones you rated “never” or “rarely”. Recommendations for the other statements open in the statement-by-statement review.

    What should I do with the result?

    Take two or three statements from the recommendations, turn them into habits and retake the checklist in a quarter. The result link keeps your answers, so you will have something to compare with.

    Can I assess an HRBP on my team?

    Yes, as a basis for a conversation: ask the HRBP to take the checklist themselves and ask their manager to rate the same 18 statements about them. The gaps between the ratings are a topic for a one-on-one.
