Just wanted to keep you updated on some
exciting things that have been happening at
Human Capital Consulting Partners over the
past few months.
New Consulting Opportunities
We've been working with a few new clients to
assist them in solving their people problems.
Listed below is a brief summary of the work
we have done.
Client: A European biotechnology company
Problem
How to identify and quantify all the human
capital resources issues as well as the
employee communication challenges within 15
calendar days in support of the company's
first acquisition in the U.S.?
HCCP Solution
Human Capital Consulting Partners developed a
detailed list of all the human capital issues
that must be addressed in the integration of
the two companies, including internal
communication, organization design, people
selection and company culture. We also
analyzed the acquired company's human
resource programs, outlining plan design,
costs and possible roadblocks. We then
drafted the employee communication material
that was sent to all employees when the deal
closed.
More information on how to ensure you have a
successful integration can be found in this
article: "An Eight-Step Process for Ensuring
Your Acquisition and the Integration are a
Success" - Read

Client: A start-up financial institution
Problem
How to set up the initial human resources
practices, programs and processes?
HCCP Solution
Human Capital Consulting Partners created in
conjunction with the CFO the necessary
documents to initiate attracting and
retaining the right employees. This included
items such as job application, offer letter,
as well as advice on the design of specific
policies and procedures.
More information on how to insure you attract
and retain the right people can be found in
the article, "How to Attract and Retain Great
People- A Seven Step Process? - Read

Client: A privately held services company
Problem
How do we design the right compensation
program for the Board of Directors?
HCCP Solution
Human Capital Consulting Partners interviewed
the CEO and the Chair of the Compensation
Committee to understand what they hoped to
accomplish by instituting a board
compensation program. We collected and
analyzed board compensation data for similar
companies in the marketplace. We then
recommended a specific program design that
fit with the company's overall objective,
financial parameters and the marketplace.
Client: A global manufacturing and distribution company
Problem
What are the key human capital processes that
are needed to grow the business and what role
should the human resources function play in
the company?
HCCP Solution
Human Capital Consulting Partners discussed
with the President the business strategy and
the people issues in accomplishing the
company's strategy. We also conducted
meetings with key managers and supervisors to
understand their people challenges now and in
the future. We reviewed all human capital
processes and programs to be sure they met
the needs of the business and were driving
performance. We then
presented a roadmap to the President that
outlined all the human capital issues that
need to be addressed including how best to
structure the human resources function with a
job and competency profile of the head of HR.
