Experience working in a standalone post?

Meena

hi I have taken on a new opportunity within a manufacturing company, as a HR Manager. It is a stand alone post and I wondered if anyone had any experience working in stand alone post and what your advice (in relation to what to focus on, challenges, etc) for me, would be. thank you Meena

    I totally agree with David. I have worked stand alone HR for many years (20 in a manufacturing environment) and I find that getting to know the people is absolutely paramount. Learning their names and a little about them but also be willing to chat. Often they want to know what you are there to do!

    I didn't get caught up dealing with things that I didn't need to. I did review some of the systems and then I found that I started to get to know what needed attention. Succession planning was a big one because some of the manufacturing roles were quite niche.

    Good luck and best wishes.
