The demands on HR are increasing – and with them the need to establish HR as a driving force for organizational change. etec Consult supports companies in finding strategic HR leaders who not only master operational tasks but actively drive transformation processes. Our expertise and network enable us to identify experienced HR leaders with proven know-how in change management – a decisive competitive advantage for the future viability of your company.
The world is in constant transformation, and companies are facing challenges such as recessions, demographic changes, ESG requirements, and digitalization, particularly driven by AI. The importance of HR is also growing: talent retention, workforce planning, compensation, and change management are becoming critical factors for business success. Many experts believe that this is not a temporary trend, but one that will shape companies for years, if not decades, to come.
According to studies, 54% of executives view restructuring as a priority, yet 67% have experienced transformation efforts falling short of expectations, according to Ernst & Young’s “Human@Center” report. Successful companies increasingly invest in their human capital and achieve a success rate 2.6 times higher. However, many HR departments remain too operational and often have insufficient influence on strategic decisions.
Historically grown structures or a lack of trust from business units often hinder active involvement. Companies must recognize HR as a central driver of transformation in order to remain competitive and successfully shape future change.
Strategic workforce management plays a key role in successful transformation: Which people and skills are needed to remain successful in the future? That is the core of HR work!
In recently completed executive search projects in the HR sector, etec Consult has also observed that clients expect practical experience and proven achievements from HR leaders in transformation processes. Demonstrable expertise in change management is a clear competitive advantage, as only a small proportion of HR executives have completed dedicated training in this area.
Due to numerous successfully completed mandates in this environment, we have an extensive network that we can access immediately. Feel free to contact us.
