Leveraging HRBPs: The Engine Behind Year-Round Workforce Planning - Workforce Planning & Readiness Exchange

For many organizations, the priority is strengthening how workforce planning happens in practice, especially the role HR business partners (HRBPs) play as strategic thought partners. When HRBPs are fully embedded alongside business leaders, finance, and talent acquisition, workforce planning becomes more proactive, data-informed, and aligned to real business constraints.  

Gain insights into how HRBPs can influence decisions, interpret workforce analytics, challenge assumptions, and help leaders scenario plan.   

Together, we’ll explore:  

• How HRBPs partner with finance, talent acquisition, and business leaders to create proactive workforce planning “four-legged stool” models  
• Practical ways HRBPs use workforce data and analytics to surface risk, forecast gaps, and influence decisions  
• What it takes to equip HRBPs with the business acumen, consultative confidence, and tools to lead readiness conversations
