The rules and regulations of Human Resources in Germany can be confusing!

There is no one-size-fits-all plan for international expansion – getting a foothold and growing your personnel in Germany is different from other countries. Plus, every company has its unique needs and circumstances.

This can lead to you feeling overwhelmed, unsure, and lost at sea.

Do you need to:

Get your head around German bureaucracy and employment law?
Establish how your business strategy will work with the nuts and bolts of German regulations?
Connect with essential on-the-ground, local knowledge?
Align your HR department with a newly established German team?
Capacitate a small team with no budget for HR?

We understand! We have worked with a range of companies to ensure a smooth transition as they established themselves in the German arena.

Tap into potential

When a business sets itself up in a new country, this is a statement of intent! Germany is the biggest market in the EU and at the center of Europe.
With the right support, creating a foothold here can propel companies to great heights.

Growing your business in new soil is a delicate operation - but if the earth is fertile and the flower is well cared for, it will grow strong!

How will your organization develop with a successful grasp of Human Resources?

Focused on the things that matter
Confident on the German stage
Great Human Resources decision-making
Controlled and steady development
Superb alignment with headquarters
An engaged and motivated team

The question is, how do you get over the obstacle of HR compliance in order to focus on these important parts of your business?
