What is an Upstream HRBP?

An upstream HRBP is assigned to a senior leader and automatically gains visibility into all employees reporting directly or indirectly to that leader—no need to tag them individually.

Example: Hamza, an L1 leader, has Sashi as his HRBP. Brittany, an L2 leader reporting to Hamza, requires her own HRBP. When assigning one to Brittany, Sashi is auto-selected and cannot be removed, as he retains visibility over her team in his role as an upstream HRBP.

Similarly, when HRBPs are assigned to a founder, they automatically gain access to the founder’s entire reporting organization.
