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

Charlie

Hi All!

Just wondering whether anyone has experienced going from a corporate company with a big HR team to a stand alone HR role incorporating everything HR, Recruitment and L&D. Whether there is anything to consider/weigh up and any challenges you've faced making the jump?

Thank you

  • Hi Charlie,

    I've done this. I was made redundant from a large supermarket chain with a relatively big HR department and now work as a standalone for a family run pharmacy chain.

    The major thing I missed was the advice and second opinions I could get from my team, but then I found this community and it has been a lifesaver! Even when I feel like I'm asking stupid questions, I get amazingly helpful responses.

    I also like that I get to deal with everything, rather than specialising in a specific area.

    I guess a downside would be that I can't really develop anymore, so I would need to leave this company if I wanted to progress my career. But overall I don't think I would want to go back to a massive corporate company now, I feel more valued and appreciated here than I have ever done in my previous roles.
