HR Business Partner Feature – PeopleSoft HCM PUM 31

HR Business Partner Feature and Enhancements

HR Business Partners is a highly specialized role who work closely with the Organization’s management to support Company’s vision and mission. They have a strategic role to attract and retain the best talent in the Organization. Their key responsibility among others are to gauge employee morale and introduce new benefits to the employees.

Initially introduced in PeopleSoft PUM image 31, the HRBP feature gives a capability to define HR Business Partners for groups of employees. These HRBPs could be defined as generalists or specialists like Payroll BPs, Benefits BPs, T&L BPs etc.

HRBPs can:

  1. Review Employees’ Information
  2. Perform Actions (like Salary Revision, location change)
  3. Approve Transactions

In Later versions of PeopleSoft HCM Image, this functionality has been further enhanced for the employees to view their business partners’ contact information using Company Directory and employee onboarding dashboard.
