HR Standalone role

Danielle Hemmings

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've been a standalone manager for 2 years taking over from someone who had destroyed all good will between HR and the employees. It has been hard work but I can now see the benefits. Like others have said, there is a lot to learn and I rely on the support of CIPD and EEF for advice. I have also joined an HR networking group which is good for bouncing ideas around and seeing how others handle particular issues. I do sometimes feel isolated but the amount I am learning is well worth it.
