HR Standalone role

Hi everyone,

Are there any standalone HR Managers out there who can tell me the pro's/con's of being standalone?

I have been offered a standalone role, I have always worked as part of a team so am looking to weigh up the pro's/con's before making a decision.

Thanks!

    I took on my first stand alone role in October. I must admit it was quite a daunting thought at first as I had always worked with brilliant people who I could turn to for advice. I also made the step up from HR Administrator to HR Advisor.

    Although it's still early days, I am really enjoying it. Every day I get to test my knowledge and I am learning so much from it. There is the doubt for me that sometimes I am doing something wrong - but I am hoping that will disappear as I get more confident (and read more of these discussions!).
