I am currently a team of one for an office of 115. I have automated many of the HR processes, so I can go weeks/months with little to no work and am finding it hard to stay engaged. I don’t enjoy being the point person for the regulations, Covid, etc…I enjoy taking something unstructured and making structure out of it, so maybe project management?

I am sure that you could be an HR Advisor or Consultant for a company. You may find out that a company may need training and development for the HR department or a mentor. Some HR professionals have started their own businesses.
