HR Roles

Hi all,

Just for knowledge and for my own progression, I was wondering whether you could explain the difference in job roles and responsibilities in an SME between:

HR Advisor

HR Team Leader

HR Manager

If you're a HR Advisor or Team Leader and they don't currently have a HR Manager how do you take that leap in change? What would the expectations be?

Thanks :)

  • In that case, how do I go about putting a case together to show that I should be promoted to a HR manager? ;)

    I'm currently the HR Team Leader but I am the most senior HR member in the business.
  • Is this a promotion or a change in job title? If you're already the most senior HR practitioner, then it sounds like it's just a change in job title, which hardly requires a business case.

    Tbh, I would just raise it in my next one-to-one: "I don't feel my job title reflects my status in the company, nor does it give me the credibility to external partners that I ought to have - I would like to have my job title changed to HR Manager. Is that OK with you?"

    Assuming they don't have an issue with it (why would they?) you can then write your own letter confirming your change of job title and get the MD/CEO to squiggle at the bottom.
