If you work in HR and act as the sole source of HR expertise within your employing company you may be interested in joining our special interest group for stand-alone professionals.
Our group continues to grow in numbers and experience and attracts stand-alone people professionals working across a broad range of industry sectors and sizes of business. Members are usually in environments without the day to day support of a corporate HR department.
We provide an opportunity for members to explore the challenges faced by standalone HR practitioners and share solutions to common problems encountered at work.
- Do you feel as if you are a ‘drop-in’ centre?
- Are you the go-to person to solve all kinds of people (and non-people) issues?
- Do you miss not having a support network?
If you’ve answered yes then our group could be for you. In addition to providing a great networking opportunity and a knowledge-sharing forum, we organise practical workshops where you can explore key workplace issues and solutions, facilitated by expert speakers.
We’re open to suggestions on the issues that matter to you and we’ll do our level best to ensure we support you in championing better work and working lives within your company while keeping your sanity 😉
If you would like to join our Standalone HR Practitioners Group please complete this form.
We hope to welcome you shortly.
I joined the Standalone HR practitioners’ group around seven years ago, and have always found it offers fantastic support for those with no internal HR network like me. The group is diverse, active, and helpful with all sorts of questions and challenges.
