Moving to a standalone HR role from a big corporate HR team...

I've done this... I have to say it does take a bit of getting used to. Firstly there isn't anyone to bounce you thought process off so I've found myself on here more than ever before just to get that second opinion or input.

The second up and down side is that generally things are less structured, you get the blessing on not being tied into a very tight very process driven system and you get to make many more decisions however sometimes those decisions are just low level and a little frustrating. Managers tend to come to you with every single questions rather than the process or a colleague resolving some of them.

I love both environments for different reasons so just give it a go.

That's exactly what we're here for... and is in fact one of the things members continually tell us they find of huge value.

There are a few outstanding threads that cover some of this ground... including this discussion... and the thread I flag in my opening post.
