Pros
High degree of autonomy within the HR function due to limited oversight and lack of experience from VP HR
Cons
Senior HR leadership lacks relevant and up-to-date experience in Human Resources. While the VP of HR has a background in Operations, it appears to be outdated and not aligned with current practices. The absence of formal HR expertise at this level is particularly challenging, especially for team members who have invested in professional qualifications such as bachelor’s and master’s degrees or certifications like CIPD. This can feel discouraging and undervaluing of the profession.
