Business Partnership & Operations

Overview of Program & Intended Outcomes:

Business Partnership & Operations comprises the HR Business Partners (HRBPs) team, who work collaboratively with the city’s leadership to provide people-oriented solutions based on expertise in human resources and broad-based knowledge of the city operations. HRBPs assist in strategy development for the clients they support in areas such as hiring and selection, compensation and classification, retention and talent development, and employee/labor relations. This team manages the city’s negotiation strategies and processes to create union contracts with collective bargaining units: Boulder Municipal Employees Association (BMEA), International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and Boulder Police Officers Association (BPOA). The team also advises employees and supervisors on contract interpretation and application.
