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

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 have recently made the transition and it has its benefits and dis-benefits! I would suggest really know your work context and it really helps to know what is 'fit for purpose' and be selective as not one size fits all! I've worked with amazing tools, great initiatives but when you are a one person band, some of the tools and intiatives are not appropriate and relevant. Also, it's only you, so you have to be quite disciplined with what your priorities are. You may see yourself as becoming more transactional and less of a strategist but this will depend on the organisations and its culture. Good luck! I'm not keen on going back to a coporate setting and team structure yet, but I've had a few wobbles....................
