HR Transformation
Operational and strategic reorganisation of the HR (People & Culture) department in order to optimally align HR work with the company's objectives. An HR transformation does not have to mean a comprehensive reorganisation and can also take place gradually.
Leadership Development
Individual leadership development enables both current and future managers to strengthen their leadership skills and adapt them to the current needs of the company and its employees.
Change Management
Early and planned support for change processes in companies is a prerequisite for the desired success and helps employees to recognise change as an opportunity.
Restructuring
A successful reorganisation, which also includes staff reductions, is based on an overall concept consisting of time and budget planning. This includes the development of packages of measures and a detailed communication strategy for affected and unaffected employees. If necessary, the restructuring is carried out in cooperation with a law firm specialising in labour law.
Employee Experience & Retention
Employee loyalty and retention can be positively influenced by targeted, pleasant experiences (employee experience) from the first contact with the company until the employee leaves.
Performance Management
An individually developed and transparent performance management process supports both employees and managers in achieving their personal and corporate goals.
Succession Planning
Targeted, proactive succession planning for success-critical positions secures the company's success and minimises risks due to loss of expertise. It opens up prospects for employees and enhances internal employer branding.
Talent Management
Attracting and developing talent requires an awareness of the company’s talent requirements. A customised talent management process is used to attract external talent and identify and specifically promote internal talent in order to contribute to the company's long-term success.
Business Coaching
Individual coaching (on-site or remote) supports managers in the further development of their leadership skills, in their personal appearance and impact, and in dealing with change.
Testimonials
“We engaged Carolyn Schlak as a consultant for an HR training at our law firm and were delighted. She not only impressed us with her expertise, but also with her great method of knowledge transfer. This combination made the training not only informative, but also entertaining and engaging for our participating lawyers. The training exceeded our expectations, and we would request Mrs Schlak again at any time. The organisation and communication were also refreshingly uncomplicated.“
