The role of HRM in organizations is constantly evolving. The work of personal services was redefined and the specialist nature of this function started to get appreciated again. This approach is now being expressed by creating and improving strategic HR business partner functions in many companies. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present how this relatively new on the Polish market function is implemented in the Polish branch of the international company, X Technology Poland (XTP), how this function is understood by employees and what are the obstacles to its implementation and development. For this purpose, with the usage of prepared questionnaires, there were surveys conducted separately among all the employees acting as HR Business Partners and 30 managers using their services at XTP. The analysis of the results allowed to indicate competences which are necessary for HRBP to properly perform the function, areas of cooperation with line managers and those requiring improvement.
