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
If you work in HR and act as the sole source of HR expertise within your employing company you may be interested in joining our special interest group for stand-alone professionals.
Our group continues to grow in numbers and experience and attracts stand-alone HR professionals working across a broad range of industry sectors and sizes of business. Members are usually in environments without the day to day support of a corporate HR department.
We provide an opportunity for members to explore the challenges faced by solo HR practitioners and share solutions to common problems encountered at work.
If you’ve answered yes then our group could be for you.
In addition to providing a great networking opportunity and a knowledge-sharing forum, we organise practical workshops where you can explore key workplace issues and solutions, facilitated by expert speakers.
We’re open to suggestions on the issues that matter to you and we’ll do our level best to ensure we support you in championing better work and working lives within your company, while keeping your sanity 
If you would like to join our Solo HR Practitioners Group please contact the branch via: manchester@cipdbranch.co.uk to request an expression of interest form.
You may also be interested in taking our current poll on future talk themes.
We have already received numerous responses and today we launch our dedicated LinkedIn group (members-only) so if you are a part of our group we look forward to receiving your joining request.
Our first newsletter goes live this week to all those currently subscribed to our group.
We hope to welcome you shortly.
