Transitioning from large corporate HR to an SME

Nick

Hi all, I’m curious to know people’s experiences of transitioning from large corporate HR within a specialism to working as an HR Generalist in an SME environment. How have you found it? Do you prefer SME over large corporate HR? Any tips on deciding if it’s the right move? Thanks, Nick

  • Hello Nick,
    I moved in 2019 from a large public sector organisation to become a single handed HR manager at a SME. It was certainly an eye opener for me. The ability to act quickly, lack of bureaucratic hurdles to jump through to get things done has been great. I am obviously closer to the work force and have been able to influence our directors to improve HR matters at the company. I have directly impacted on the bottom line and have been seen as an asset to the company. Its not all been plain sailing as our CEO (company owner) has dated views on how to handle HR matters. But slowly over time that view is changing. As some of the other replies have said you do everything from Strategy to hands on admin. I am doing work I last did over 30 years ago. Its been refreshing as far as I am concerned.
