HR Business Partner (m/f/d)

The company: Libri is Germany's leading barsortium and the link between publishing houses and book trading. From Bad Hersfeld up to 700,000 books go daily to about 4,000 bookstores – overnight, with its own logistics to 70,000 square meters, its own printing centre and its own forwarding. Around 850 people work at two locations for Libri, on average for almost twelve years. The background: Libri redirects the staff work in Bad Hersfeld. The location completely relocates to the HR Business Partner model: Instead of shared responsibility for the entire location, each division receives a firm business partner with complete responsibility. Six areas, six business partners. Two of these positions are completely new. The model is tested: At the subsidiary Libri Plureos, the HR department is already working in the same way as the processes stand. Your incorporation begins there. So you first see the finished image and then transfer it to your own area.

Your responsibility: You take over a fixed area with the associated employees and executives. You advise the leaders of your area in all personal, organizational and individual questions – from occupation to difficult separation. You accompany your employees over the entire Employee Lifecycle and fully responsive the HR topics of your area, including administrative processes. You develop the HR competence of the executives, in everyday life and through their own training formats. You identify talents, develop development plans and ensure that your area has the people he needs in two years. You introduce changes in your area: new processes, further modules of our LOGA Personal Management software, self-services for employees and executives. You work trustfully with the works council. He has accompanied the company for decades; the current rate of change is new to him. It is about advice, explanation and building trust. And you will take on a specialized topic for the entire HR team, for which you will be the first address in the future.

What distinguishes this position from others: You are not a voice among many in a large HR organization, but for your area the instance. You know every process because it goes over your table – also the time recording and the medical message. That's how it is. Whoever sees the little things recognizes the big ones earlier. And we systematically reduce this share of digitalization, self-services and the sensible use of artificial intelligence.

Multiannual, generalistic experience in the human resources sector, such as HR Manager, HR Generalist or HR Business Partner. An exclusively specialised career does not match this role. A solid technical basis – a study with a focus on personnel or business management, a further education to the personnel specialist businessman or to the personnel specialist businesswoman or an education with appropriate qualifications. The path is secondary. Experience in advising executives and security in dealing with different hierarchical levels and groups of employees, also with professionally shaped employees. Basic labour law knowledge. We do not expect expert knowledge: In the team there is a firm legal accompaniment. Openness for change. For one of the two positions, proven experience in change management or organizational development is expressly desired. Interest in digital HR processes and in what makes automation and artificial intelligence possible in personnel work today. Personally: turned, open, with the serenity to accompany people through change instead of pushing them through. Regular presence in Bad Hersfeld. Regular travel does not occur. This position is nothing for professionals. We're looking for someone who's technically already stuck on two legs.

Target salary 60.000 to 70.000 euros per year including variable share, paid in 12 monthly salaries, plus holiday and Christmas money 30 days and a 38.5-hour week Occupational pensions and benefits Mobile work usually on a day per week, in special situations also more direct line of report to the personnel manager; the management of the site is closely involved and measures HR a very high level of importance A HR team with clearly distributed focuses, short paths and a pronounced culture of trust and error Place of use exclusively Bad Hersfeld – interesting especially for those who commute to Kassel, Fulda or Eisenach today
