Our Expertise

We work with organizations in all types of scenarios. However, the following are the types of scenarios we focus on most often.

1. Restructuring of Current HR Function

At times, organizations find it necessary to change how their HR function operates in order to accommodate changing priorities, initiate new programs, enhance organizational effectiveness, and/or address budget reductions. A successful HR reorganization requires preparation and planning that addresses programmatic needs, support services required to advance organizational goals, and effective workforce planning and communication. We help ensure the HR restructuring is done smoothly and meets all organizational objectives.

2. Setting up a new HR Function

When in the infancy stage of creating an HR Department, oftentimes your “strategy” is to just get things up and running. There is so much to HR Management that it can often be difficult to know where to start while being confident you are making the right decisions. We help organizations start and/or grow their HR function, focusing on getting it “off the ground” in a timely manner and within budget.

3. Navigating Through Corporate Transactions

Corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and other types of organizational restructuring are strategically important for many organizations. In these situations, the human resources or ‘people’ factor of an organization often holds the key to success. Unfortunately, this factor is usually the most overlooked area in the transaction process. M&A’s, divestitures, or other restructuring bring with them complexities of cultural incompatibility, different leadership styles, abrupt changes in compensation and reward system, and shedding off of extra workforce, all of which affect the effectiveness of the organization. We help organizations navigate these fragile yet critical areas with poise and efficiency.
