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!

  • Any business with fewer than about 300 employees is likely to have some elements of combining HR and L&D. As an HRM in small businesses, I was both managing the tenders to external providers and designing in-house training courses at the same time as I was guiding ER processes, onboarding new starters and... for some reason, negotiating our mobile and digital communications contract...?

    Ah, small business.
