Hi all,
As a HR team of one for a relatively small charity (up to 50 perm staff with workers) and in a leadership role, I am wondering how other lone snr HR managers balance operational duties with strategic goals.
What tools do you use for productivity and Wellbeing while ensuring that you still maintain complete oversight of everything from policies to maintaining relationships with employees and being visible?
One of the easiest things to try (you may already be doing this) is managing by wandering around (MBWA) made popular by Tom Peters, slight alternative is the Gemba Walk (actual place where work happens). It is amazing how many problems can be fixed just by walking around.
HR team of 1 is never going to be easy so don't be too hard on yourself.

The Excellent Organisation, by Tom Peters.
He looked at what many of the top businesses were doing that others were not.
Basic premise is you will do better if you get off your seat and start walking around the place seeing what people are doing and how they are doing it.
