There is a strong need of instilling a mentality of having Human Resource Management and Development as one of the pillars on which a professional enterprise should be built, especially considering that the talent market is now a Global market, exposed to constant competition from international organisations for the same labour market pool. In recent years, clients’ needs have become more complex and specialised, widening the gap between organisational needs and workforce capabilities. Hence, apart from helping the hiring organisation identify and recruit strong performers, we also strive to support its development across the different organisational levels. To bridge the existing gaps in organisations, our specialised team works close with our clients, as business partners.
Organisations engage consultants to provide them with professional advice and ‘effective’ solutions. What differentiates us from other Consultancy firms is ‘simply’ the way we go about this process, in which we ensure that we live up to, and exceed clients’ expectations. Our adopted approach considers each situation as a unique one and spends enough time in identifying a wide range of different solutions that may be appropriate. We go a step further and ensure that systematic evidence about the effectiveness of these solutions is gathered to enable us to provide the client with the best and most effective of the identified solutions. Our ultimate evidence-based solutions are designed and shaped around our clients’ needs and business context in order to provide them with the best return on their HR spending.
Where do we come in:
- When clients want to work in partnership with their consultant to:
- develop a new HR Unit;
- drive the existing ‘HR’ unit from a solely administration function to people management;
- be provided with fresh and objective ideas in cases where their HR department may be facing conflict of interest.
- When clients want strategic advice and long term planning;
- When clients are looking to implement evidence-based solutions to achieve best results;
- When clients want tailor-made solutions to their business needs which are effective;
- When clients want to develop their employees’ potential to succeed.
