Services - Compliance - HR
Our client is an American software company distributing its products in the EMEA zone through a French and a German subsidiary. Within the framework of the sale of a product family representing 15% of its turnover, the group uses the services of an interim manager to rethink its Human Resources Department.
The products sold address a niche market and were developed on the fringe of the activities of a recently acquired entity. In fact, these software packages are a legacy that does not correspond to the clear positioning desired by the group.
Although they represent only 3% of the group's turnover, they account for 15% of the EMEA zone and this sale will have immediate repercussions for the French and German subsidiaries' workforce.
It was against this backdrop that the area's management decided to call on the services of an interim manager to ensure that its HR processes complied with the law, by entrusting him in particular with :
The realization of an inventory of the HR processes applied within the German and French subsidiaries
Set up an "HR" calendar including legal obligations, deadlines and associated document templates.
Drafting HR processes and rolling them out to the 6 branches in France
Storyboard:
The first two weeks are spent in San Francisco so that the manager can immerse himself in the history and culture of the group, and become familiar with the HR practices and processes at headquarters.
The second phase of the assignment will take place mainly in Paris and within the agencies in France. The interim manager will first of all carry out an inventory of the HR function and then draw up the target processes for the European subsidiaries.
To do this, it is inspired by the group's social reporting system in order to use the same format for reporting information.
The challenge of the mission is twofold: to reassure by guaranteeing the conformity of the processes with the social agenda, while facilitating the operational aspect by setting up the corresponding standard documents.
In 5 months, the use of the interim manager enabled a complete overhaul of the EMEA Human Resources department. In addition to the Compliance/Human Resources base, the mission made it possible to make the information produced more reliable, to gain in efficiency at the operational level via standard documents and to harmonize the reporting with the group format.

"The launch of a new commercial brand and the creation of an economic and social unit are the starting points for the merger of these two players in the aeronautics sector. The centralization of support functions is one of the components of the 5-year strategic plan, the upstream phase of which involves harmonizing the collective status of the two entities..."
Our client is a French international group in the aeronautical sector, which is launching a new service line in response to changes in its home market. It is deploying an ambitious project by regrouping two entities under a new single brand.
The positioning of the integrated structures ensures strong commercial synergies, which the group will combine with an accelerated integration plan. This approach includes the regrouping of support functions at the headquarters of the recently created holding company, as well as an agreement to share personnel between the companies.
The preamble to this transfer is to build the project of harmonization of statutes essentially governed by company agreements.
Centrally, the group did not have the capacity to second a suitable resource to lead the project, and decided to call on the services of IMT Partners to introduce an interim manager.
Story-board:
This sensitive subject is above all dependent on the respect of legal deadlines. A 16-month intervention was therefore chosen to bring the project to a successful conclusion. As soon as he arrived, the Manager focused on the background, spending 10 days getting to know the content of the existing agreements. He doubled this information gathering with numerous trips to the two sites concerned in order to get a feel for the practices and to be quickly identified by the key contacts.
The next step will be to build the project to harmonize the collective statutes and to conduct its HR/Social component.
Relying on his ability to propose management methods (he has 10 years' experience in consulting), the interim manager will manage this complex project operationally, sometimes taking on the role of PMO:
- framing the project by proposing a convergence management schedule
- negotiation of a method agreement with the IRP
- negotiation of and harmonization of all social protection
- implementation of an innovative approach to promote mobility
- close coordination with the HR departments of the merged entities
- finalization of agreements
For a company with more than 2,000 employees, the mission includes a strong change management dimension. Alongside the Director in charge of the transformation and with the support of the internal communications manager, the interim manager will steer the social transformation.

Following the departure of the current HR Director, our client needs an HR Director capable of taking charge of a very unstructured department, in a quiet but demanding social context.
