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!

  • Well done on being offered your role. I am a standalone manager and have been in post since October 2016, the company that I work for didn't previously have a HR Department so I am very busy. I enjoy most days as every day is different and challenging. You learn quickly and you are always learning, if you enjoy a challenge it is a great role.
    You do question your self a lot that you are making the right decisions but there is so much support available. I agree some days can be lonely, but on days like today - interviews - your feet do not touch the ground.
    I agree it can be admin heavy , I am still working on the answer to that!
