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 am a (standalone) HR Manager and have been in post for 5 years. I love it! As a member of the CIPD I rely heavily on them for support and if in doubt, I ring the legal team to ensure I am on track. I am now on the Senior Management Team, due to exposure to senior leaders from the start (something you don't always get in a larger organisation, where you are part of a bigger team). I get to push the 'people agenda' at strategic level without having to go through layers of management. Last year we won the Wiltshire Business Award for Customer and Staff Care. This may be a great opportunity for you. Good Luck!
  • Great first post, Coleen... and congrats!
