What is a Fractional People Partner?

Fractional People Partners offer organizations the strategic leadership of an experienced people/HR leader working on a part-time or interim basis, providing access to high-level expertise without the cost of a full-time executive. Fractional People Partners will collaborate with senior management to align people plans with business goals.  By drawing upon extensive experience across industries, Fractional People Partners deliver immediate impact, guiding organizations through complex challenges and positioning clients for long-term success.

Fractional people partners also need to be equipped to provide expertise and tactical support to recruit new talent; develop existing talent; ensure attractive benefits portfolio and support such areas as:  benefits; employee relations; compliance; compensation; and learning and development among others.

Most commonly, a Fractional People Partner is embedded with the team to mentor existing staff and or develop solutions that provides an attractive employer value proposition while providing a meaningful culture and career for employees.
