We design and deliver HR transformations that connect operating reality with employment law. Instead of treating HR and legal as separate streams, we align both from day one—so structures, processes and governance scale cleanly while risks are managed proactively. With 20+ years in PE portfolios and mid-market environments, we focus on pragmatic execution and measurable outcomes.
Typical triggers: carve-outs, integrations, rapid scaling, rightsizing, leadership changes, or remediation after audits. We work side-by-side with management, works councils and legal advisors.
Collective and individual HR topics delivered with speed and clarity.
Legal workbench integrated into the transformation stream.
From business case to execution: HC baselines, social selection, works council negotiations, communication packs, and exit execution with full documentation.
Target operating model, SLAs, HRIS selection/rollout, and people analytics foundations that bring transparency to cost and service levels.
Case strategy, negotiation support, settlement design, and checklists for compliant execution.
Stakeholder mapping, manager toolkits, and communications that reduce friction and sustain adoption.
