Human Resources

We help you align your HR function strategically and position it as a business function. With a clear structure, efficient services and a consistent focus on its internal customers, HR lays the ground for an adaptable organisation and makes a measurable contribution to business success.

People Advisory overview

HR Baselining

A well-founded understanding of what is already there

Together we identify the strengths, the fields of action and the concrete potential of your existing HR organisation. We analyse strategy, structures, processes, capacity and technology and compare them with best practice and market benchmarks. On top of that we bring in the perspective of HR’s internal customers. That gives you a sound basis for developing your HR function in a targeted way.

  1. HR Strategy

    Aligning your HR activities with the overarching business goals.

  2. HR Structures

    Organisational structure, role clarity and the interfaces between HR and the operating business.

  3. HR Processes

    Efficiency, degree of standardisation and digitalisation potential along the lifecycle.

  4. HR Capacity

    Analysis of resource deployment, tools and the HR system landscape.

HR Strategy

A future-ready HR function starts with a clear strategic direction

Starting from your corporate strategy, we develop a clear target picture for your HR function. Together we prioritise the strategic fields of action and build a realistic roadmap that gives direction and makes implementation possible.

HR Operating Model

An HR operating model allocates responsibilities effectively and creates efficient structures

Together we develop your future HR operating model along three core design areas. From the defined target picture we define the future structure, processes and governance.

  • Defining your future HR structure with clear roles and responsibilities and service areas such as Business Partnering, Center of Expertise and HR Services.
  • Designing efficient end-to-end processes as well as clear interfaces and collaboration between your HR functions and the business.
  • Setting out steering, decision-making and collaboration models as well as standards, policies and responsibilities for consistent HR service delivery.

  • Business Partnering

    Face to the business

  • Center of Expertise

    Knowledge & specialisation

  • HR Services

    Support & administration

Employee Life Cycle Processes

Every touchpoint counts – the employee life cycle in focus

We design efficient, user-oriented HR processes across the entire employee life cycle. The focus is on a convincing employee experience, clear responsibilities and lean workflows. That reduces administrative effort and lays the ground for a future-ready, digitally supported HR function.

HR Tool Selection

Vendor-neutral evaluation of the right HR IT solution for you

An HR system should not only meet today’s requirements but support the organisation for the long term. So we analyse the existing system landscape, define the functional and technical requirements together and assess potential vendors against use cases specific to your business. The result is a transparent, traceable basis for deciding on your HR IT solution.

  1. Status quo analysis

    Understanding the system landscape, processes and pain points

  2. Requirements definition

    Defining must-have and nice-to-have criteria and priorities

  3. Vendor analysis & use case evaluation

    Objective comparison of tool options

  4. Decision recommendation

    A well-founded choice and a basis for the decision

The value of comprehensive HR expertise

  • Strategically aligned HR

    HR actively supports the business strategy and drives key people projects forward.

  • An efficient organisational structure

    Transparent roles, responsibilities and decision-making paths save coordination and administrative effort.

  • Resources used where they count

    Lean, digitalised processes, targeted use of resources and reduced administrative effort improves efficiency.

  • A more attractive employer

    A consistently harmonised life cycle strengthens retention internally and raises your appeal externally.
