Do I have to choose?

Vanessa

This is a dramatic post title, but please bear with me :) 

I have been working in HR since 2015. I've started as a HR Coordinator in a SME before moving into L&D in a big multinational environment a few years later.  I have now left that position and looking for my next step, ideally back in a SME.

My little pickle is, as much as I love the training aspect and talking to/supporting people,  I do miss the projects a generalist role provides,  especially around ER.  Do you think it's possible to "have the best of both worlds" and do training and HR in the same role? If yes, what kind of roles should I be targeting? 

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

  • Hi Vanessa, welcome to the communities. You may like to think around HR roles involving training on HR systems, perhaps the rollout of a new system or new appraisal procedures. I thoroughly enjoyed a nationwide rollout of Trent along with 3 other trainers plus the implementation team where each site had dedicated individuals with responsibilities for inputting HR information before the central payroll team completed the monthly payroll run. I'm a bit out of touch with the current HR job market but does something like that sound feasible?
