How do you tick?

Every company ticks differently. Some topics may be necessary for the survival of one firm, while just be a decorative add-on for the other. It is crucial to pick and seize the right topics in order to adjust the compass for the future.

Our shared journey can start with a contemporary employee recruitment and does not have to end with separation management. We listen to you and do therefore ensure that we understand.

With this kind of understanding we elaborate tailor-made concepts and support you with the implementation.

Recruiting

In the field of employee recruitment currently everything is about applicant-centered recruiting approaches and methods. We understand an appropriate staff recruitment as one of the core challenges of our time.

With pleasure we evaluate your existing recruitment process and your existing processes in general.

We support and accompany you in your search for employees, be it the whole process or individual modules:

• Personnel selection (mix of print- and digital ads, Head Hunting via our network, active sourcing)
• Screening of candidates‘ cv
• Conduct interviews, optional: aptitude diagnostics
• Handling of the onboarding-process

At your request, we accompany both the desired candidates as well as your company until the execution of the contract.

We design your recruiting training according to your needs and carry out in-house trainings for you and your employees so that you are well prepared for future hiring processes.

For the targeted personnel search (Executive + Non-Executive) we rely on a network of experienced and specialized experts.

In this area a look into your previous contract design has its place. If necessary and wanted, we support you with a gradual standardization of your (labor) contracting.

Onboarding

How do you welcome your new employees on board? Together we look into your existing procedures and establish a common welcome culture.

By your request we gladly carry out your Onboarding Event which is often received as the foundation for a positive employee experience. From the start it will be about a forward-looking, successful and positive collaboration between your new colleagues and you as an employer.

Performance Management

We evaluate your processes to measure and evaluate the performance of your employees.

A functioning performance management process includes:

• Setting up measurable goals and finalizing meaningful goal agreements
• Conducting professional performance appraisal interviews (e.g., year-end interviews)
• The identification of high and low performers
• The calibration and employee evaluation (i.e. by peer comparison)
• The use of consistent documents and forms
• Regular documentation of the results
• Leaders as role models and coaches

We set up a performance management process for you, either on existing processes or as a new tool in your company.

It then makes sense for your employees and you to derive development measures from the performance appraisals that are comprehensible, helpful and ideally motivating for all those involved. We support you in the creation of individual development plans, the conception and implementation of employee development talks.

If needed, we will coach and train you and your leaders to successfully lead this kind of developmental discussion.

In this context, we gladly look into your compensation model. For some of your employees, a performance-related share makes sense. Motivational accents can be set here.

Development

We understand HR as a potential developer and evaluate with you your existing development processes.

On demand, we execute potential analyses of your employees. Afterwards we jointly design development plans for your team. In addition to individual employee development, this can include specific plans for high or low performers, conceptual design for job rotation, job enrichment or job enlargement, programs for high potentials or particularly for your managers.

We design and carry out specific training, such as Recruiting trainings, communication trainings, team events and management trainings. A contemporary mix of digital training, face-to-face training and self-learning phases, the often-quoted blended learning, is our status quo. Get your employees individually at the respective level of knowledge and thus generate added value for your company with our support. HR and executives act as people coaches at the same time.

With the longtime expertise in systemic coaching, we support your employees in a short-term, targeted and solution-oriented way in specific topics.

You do not have succession planning yet? Again, a targeted consideration of the skills of your employees can be helpful.

Organizational Culture

Flexible, adaptive and decisive as far as ability to act is concerned: these are important factors for a company today.

Proper questions in this area are: How is the employability of my employees covered in the future? How does the leadership of tomorrow look like? In which ways will the work change? Are you generally agile enough to withstand the future?

We evaluate the current situation in your ranks and develop a contemporary corporate culture together.

What keeps employees in your company? How up to date is your organizational form and your lived management approaches? How do you strengthen employee experience and employee engagement?

Together with you, we work out a common understanding of your corporate mission statements and find out what values your company "lives" and "breathes", considering topics such as digitization, employee participation, equality of opportunity and diversity.

The result of this process is a corporate culture with which the employees can identify, and which is developed continuously and collectively.

As the leadership increasingly loses its claim to exclusivity in management and continuously evolves towards shared responsibilities, we are happy to assist you in the design and implementation of a contemporary leadership style.

With the help of employee identification and the creation of meaningful activities, new forms of cooperation and leadership are in demand. Let us guide you through this transformation process towards a stronger employee experience and a greater employee engagement.

By using different tools, you can significantly increase the satisfaction of your employees: These can be employee surveys, structured and moderated employee appraisals, 180° or 360° feedback processes, established incentives. The introduction of a feedback culture gives the employees a share in your success and leads to increased motivation.

Separation Management

This, too, is part of the successful management of your company: the separation of employee and employer.

This process should be handled professionally and with respect, because it is an important part of your corporate culture and allows to draw conclusions as to whether and how the values in your company are lived.

We support you in the event of dismissals by the employee with structured conduct of exit talks. Well executed, you can draw important information for your existing staff from such discussions and the reasons for termination.

In case of enforced redundancy, professionally managed discussions often shape the process decisively. A thorough conception and consistent implementation with appropriate documentation helps significantly.

In the event of a larger separation, we fully support the employer and employee side with the following services:

• Training of management in the course of separation management
• Moderation & implementation of separation interviews
• Discussions / negotiations with the works council
• Contract management; ongoing tracking / monitoring / documentation of the interview results as well as project management
• On request subsequent consultation / care of employees
• Outcoaching of employees on request
• Upon request, design and documentation of a professional separation management process
