My Services For You

Coaching:
Helping your People Managers

Being a manager can be extremely difficult as it usually includes having to manage mess.

Through 1-on-1 coaching, I help managers to manage mess and to create habits that help preventing mess, and with navigating through challenging environments.

Coaching sessions can be 1-on-1 or in groups, and they are typically about managing direct reports, managing upwards, managing sideways/stakeholders, managing and resolving conflicts, managing time and stress, or clarifying personal goals.

Coaching session topics can be agreed in advance based on your organization's needs or as-we-go based on your managers' individual needs. The amount of sessions needed to achieve results vary.

With 1-on-1 coaching, achieving results usually comes after two to ten or more sessions. With groups, a half-day session can do the trick but sometimes several sessions need to be planned in advance.

I can help you with:

• Managing direct reports
• Managing upwards
• Managing sideways/stakeholders
• Managing and resolving conflicts
• Managing time and deadlines
• Managing stress
• Resolving conflicts
• Clarifying personal goals

Hands-on HR support:
Extra pair of hands or Interim HR 

First things first - your HR basics need to be clean and compliant. Sometimes simply an extra pair of hands helps a lot here. Oftentimes Process and Quality Management practices can help in building these out and with making these basics work smoother and faster.

Getting HR basics right ensures the HR team is easy to do business with internally. This gets the HR team an entry ticket internally to being given the license to do more.

Doing more means building something unique to your organization, something that adds value. This can mean building a framework for Talent Identification and proactive Talent Management, building your Employer Brand, Scenario Planning, or Forecasting your workforce needs.

No matter if you need 1-on-1 advisor support, help with formulating an HR and Talent strategy, or hands-on support with executing specific initiatives, I can help.

I can help you with:

• Building out an HR/People function and sub-teams
• Establishing a Talent Acquisition function and recruitment processes
• Designing Performance Management & Feedback processes
• Designing an Onboarding program
• Talent identification practices
• Job levels & Pay grades
• Launching an Employee Value Proposition
• Talent Acquisition/Recruitment
• HR Business Partnering
• Heading your HR or People Operations

Clarity Analysis for HR:
Current State
& Future Focus

If you have HR processes in place but are not sure how they are performing, how they could be made more effective, or if there is something that should be done in a different way altogether, audits and/or effective goal-setting can help.

Altogether, a clarity analysis reveals where your HR investments should be put to create most impact. Put differently, the analysis shows where your focus should be on right now. 

I have deep expertise in qualitative and quantitative analysis. This type of analysis can effectively show how your HR processes are actually working, how your employees are experiencing them, or if there is an underlying need in your organization that has not been previously recognized. 

Gathering data and using tools like gap analysis, value-stream mapping, and development roadmaps help in understanding what is relevant now and where you should aim next.

I can help you with:

• Understanding current & target states of your employees' experience
• Understanding current & target states of your people managers' capability levels
• Understanding your current HR process performance & impact
• Formulating your HR strategy
• Formulating and managing your KPIs & OKRs
