Represents Asian Bulk Logistics as a Speaker at the 19th HR Expo “The New HR Ways”

In an ever-evolving business landscape, the role of an HR Business Partner (HRBP) is more critical than ever. At the 19th HR Expo, Hermawan, CHRO of PT Asian Bulk Logistics, shared profound insights during his session on "HRBP: Challenges and Key Success Factors." Highlighting the pivotal role of HRBP as a strategic partner to business leaders, he emphasized the need for HR professionals to deeply understand the unique characteristics of their industry, especially in environments shaped by VUCA, organizational culture, and the complexities of change management.

According to Hermawan, building trust with business leaders is fundamental to success. This involves listening to their needs, maintaining service level agreements (SLAs), and navigating challenges with agility and clarity. He also outlined the key success factors for HRBPs:

1. Establishing strategic partnerships with business leaders.

2. Navigating complexity with confidence.

3. Leading organizational change with a proactive approach.

4. Collaborating effectively to drive sustainable growth.

For organizations undergoing transitions, such as mergers or acquisitions, HRBPs must anchor their strategies in trust, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the business's evolving needs.
