Hi there
I hope this is ok to ask on here. I have been asked about entry routes into HR for someone who’s currently a store manager in retail. They are keen to make a move over but stuck on how to take that step without having to start at entry level (not feasible due to salary difference at this stage in their career). Has anyone had any experience of this or able to share any organisations where they are good at offering within job training/CIPD qualification?
Many thanks.
The easiest way to do this in the past was in the same retail organisations. Most of the big retailers used to often hire store or regional HR bods (at least some of them) from store management teams. However I think they are doing it less now
