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 did it several years ago - I always wanted that independence of a stand alone role. I really love it and it was worth the jump. You have to be very decisive and resilient as its mostly your decision. I have a very good CEO who I report into and you need a good team of managers also who support you who you can discuss things with as there is no longer the chance to do this with other HR buddies. (One thing I slightly miss). If in doubt - go for it - best decision I ever made. I would struggle to go back. I also went SME and I really love that too. Good luck. Oh yes and I do get all that lovely admin that goes with it. Its totally great though to make those decisions.
