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 started my HR career in a standalone HR generalist position.
    It's definitely challenging. Having no one to vent to about draining issues is the toughest part.
    The other is bouncing ideas around. This is tricky on your own, I turned in to a bit of a loon.
    I now use this community to bounce ideas off and learn from.

    If you're in a standalone position you have to be a strong self motivator in order to keep an eye on the HR realm for new ideas and keep up to date.
    Usually in a team new ideas can come from anyone but when you're working on your own you have to be the one out there looking for ways to improve, and you have to do this alongside all the other administrative and manager level tasks.

    I often wonder if I should switch to a company with a bigger HR team now for a more rounded HR experience, but I really appreciate the freedom to mould HR processes and drive ideas forward.

    I think it's great for personal development and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
