Generalist.

Yes definitely look into HR generalist roles.

I agree with the comment above. That's the reason why I'm a gen right now. Been getting advice that this role will open more opportunities.

I lead the HR reporting and analytics function and I am seeing opportunities for my team members to pivot into HRBP roles. These are folks who start as HRIS Data Admin, then Data / Reporting Analyst to Sr Analyst roles and need to know the business strategy to be effective. I think most companies have structured the analysts to partner with HRBPs, but I’m seeing the opportunity for them to pivot from an analytics career path into HRBP.

Echoing the other suggestions for HR generalist. Look for roles that are broad and have duties in multiple areas of HR. Once you get to the management level then you can specialize if you want to.

Yep, that was how I started out and I'm glad for it, it gives you enough broad experience that you can figure out what to do for your niche

Pros:
- Lots of people are great to work with
- Smart marketers
- Has been a huge career accelerator leadership wise
- Growing company and stable-ish industry
- Hopeful future

Cons
- More red tape, slower innovation
- More meetings/reporting than work
- Doesn’t feel like creativity is a value
- A few prominent people left recently
- Lots of burnout

Hello!
My org is going through a restructure where we are creating a new COE focused exclusively on employee relations. In the current state, HRBPs have to balance between strategic functions and ER, so it's an exciting prospect. However, I'm a little concerned about stepping on each other's toes and want to give input on how this model can most effectively function.

Anyone have a model they can share or point to which demonstrates how this can work?

Hello Everyone! Had a discussion yesterday regarding “claw backs” being included in a policy for sponsorship if the new employee leaves before 3 years. It was a declining percentage over a three year period. My POV was that it wasn’t something I’ve ever done and didn’t seem like they were sure of the hire they were making. I get wanting to save costs but at the same time doesn’t feel inclusive or welcoming. Thoughts? Have you done this or seen it work? Thanks!
