HRBP vs CHRO

HR isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on your business size, structure, and goals, you may need hands-on, day-to-day HR support or high-level executive strategy—or something in between.

At A&A, we offer customizable Fractional HR solutions that grow with you. Whether you need an HR Business Partner (HRBP) for tactical support or a Chief HR Officer (CHRO) for long-term strategy, we help you find the right level of expertise to support your business today—and evolve with you in the future.

Not sure what you need? We can assess your HR function and recommend a tailored solution. Many of our clients start with an HRBP and transition to CHRO-level support as they scale. Hybrid solutions are also available!

Hybrid Solutions

A scalable, custom approach

Many businesses fall somewhere in between an HRBP and a CHRO. That’s why we offer hybrid models that provide the best of both worlds:

✔️ HRBP + CHRO: Tactical support from an HRBP, with strategic oversight from a CHRO when needed.
✔️ Scalable support: Start with an HRBP and transition to a CHRO as your business grows.
✔️ Custom solutions: We assess your current HR function and tailor a plan that fits your exact needs.

💡 Example Hybrid Solution: A business with 50+ employees might need an HRBP for compliance, hiring, and day-to-day HR needs, while a CHRO provides monthly strategic coaching to the executive team.
