We help and support our clients with HR-related matters, addressing every angle of diverse business scenarios – be it a growth journey laying the foundation for the future, a stable business environment with room for improvement and more efficient workforce allocation, or a larger transformation where fundamental change may be needed.
We offer help with understanding the overall situation, prioritising the most important actions, and with the actual implementation.

We can help you with
HR Health Check
Are you aware of the current state of your company's workforce-related areas? Are all employer obligations considered and are statutory plans in place? Does your company have functioning HR processes and what is the state of collaboration between management and HR? Does your company attract and engage the right talent? What is the turnover of your workforce and the level of sick leave, and how about the shape of other workforce-related key indicators? Would you like to gain more control and form a balanced picture of where you are with everything? We help you analyse the current state of your workforce administration and management from every angle and provide you concrete recommendations for the future.
We investigate your organisation's HR processes through interviews and workshops and by analysing your HR documents and processes. The need for an analysis may arise in scenarios where: your company grows or seeks to grow, during a business acquisition or preparation for one, when legislation changes or significant development targets surface or, for example, there are changes in staff or a requirement for onboarding.

HR Due Diligence and support in situations of change
HR Due Diligence (DD) is a comprehensive overview of the current state of the organisation's workforce, which is needed, for example, in mergers or investment negotiations. Some organisations also utilise the HR DD report to prepare the company for selling or to develop its current state.
The HR DD report is typically prepared in connection with a financial key figure-based Due Diligence report, providing a comprehensive overview of the organisation that is under review.
The HR DD service can be used to describe the organisation's
- employment contracts
- salary processes and models
- reward practices
- goal setting and management practices
- corporate and leadership culture
- key workforce roles
- risks related to workforce
- workforce practices
- key figures related to workforce
- industry-focused, workforce-related issues.
The benefits of HR DD include, among other things
- identifying workforce-related risks
