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

    I also did exactly this 12 years ago and it was the best thing I've done from a personal development point of view. However, I would echo others' observations that I may now have to consider leaving my company as there are no opportunities for further development or progression.
    One other thing... I would only want a stand alone role if that role were recognised as a member of the SLT of that organisation; I am lucky that I share an office with the MD so am involved in virtually every aspect of the business, and HR is at the fore of most of the decisions the organisation makes. This makes me feel valued and that I add value.
    And finally, I have used this forum a few times when I really wasn't sure and needed sound technical advice and it works, every time!
