HR work in medium-sized companies often grows organically: the initial focus is on payroll accounting, with recruiting and other modules such as salary development programs or talent promotion being added at a later stage. But what is often missing? A systematic link between HR tools, business strategy and corporate culture.
At Breitenstein Consulting, we see HR work as a puzzle: all the pieces have to fit together to create a coherent overall picture. But how do you put this puzzle together?
The basis: understanding business strategy
First comes understanding. What technological, customer-related and business changes do you expect in the next 3-5 years?
Because: HR work that is not aligned with strategy remains fragmented.
Two key questions lead the way:
- Core competencies:
- What skills do we have today?
- What will we need tomorrow?
- How do we design development to achieve this?
- Roles and organization:
- Which key roles will shape the future?
- Which jobs are crucial and how do we evaluate them regionally and globally?
We address these questions with you in workshops and data-based analyses – often using modern tools such as HRForecast.
The result: comprehensive human resources work that works
On this basis, all HR instruments can be strategically derived:
- Income models that reflect the market and values.
- Personnel planning that defines the skills needed in the future.
- Recruiting strategies that specifically control the external search.
- Performance management that optimally develops your roles and talents.
And only when all the pieces of the puzzle fit together does the question of the best HR organization arise:
What do we digitize? Which services do we purchase? And how do we efficiently carry out the transformation?
Your advantage: an HR puzzle that creates added value
Our experience shows that medium-sized companies can not only attract skilled workers with customized HR strategies, but also retain them in the long term – even in the face of tough competition from large companies.
