Progression for HR Managers
HR Managers tend to work in teams, however the skills you demonstrate as part of a team are transferrable into future roles such as Head of HR and HR Directors. Directors tend to be kept for larger organisations or often cross into Operations Director roles so if you’re a HR Manager in a large company, you can look towards these job titles for direct progression. Outside of this however, your ability to work to guidelines, working with people and showing management skills can be transferred into many different areas if you would choose to. HR Managers are very flexible when it comes to progression and should consider all avenues when thinking about a future career.
