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!

  • Hi Danielle,
    I had a standalone role and it was a good experience; value-added! Please make sure you have all the support you needed from the Management, otherwise yes, you will sink with your job alone, which mostly would be on admin work.

    Tips - manage your time effectively, prioritize your work smartly, and stay positive. Time management is very important. Be selfish sometimes so you can get your work done. Engaged with employees are good (you will get walk-in employees to share their concerns or issues) but sometimes it drags your work. So, be selfish and watch your time. Work smartly also include hiring an intern to help you with the admin-related.

    Don't look on the con's too much. Stay positive as this is your learning curve to be where you want to be in the next 5 or 10 years.

    Good luck!
