Interim HR Director and HR Consulting

The HR function is one of the pillars of the company, and plays a major role in internal communication and in the smooth running of the business. Over the course of a company’s life, HR challenges are numerous, and can sometimes be tricky to meet internally.

In particular contexts, requesting external help will then be a preferred solution. The intervention of an interim manager specialising in HR is therefore a real lever to support you during a major stage of your company (restructuring, crisis, managerial emergency, recruitment problems, etc.).

At WAYDEN, we target, among a network of highly qualified managers and executives, the HR manager you need to lead effective change management.

Why use an interim manager in Human Resources?

Replacing an HR Director in an emergency

The interim HR Director can first intervene in the context of the temporary replacement of a Human Resources Director who has left his position. He will then be able to fill the vacant position while you recruit a new employee. The interim HR Director will thus be at the helm of the Human Resources department, in close collaboration with the management committee, to take charge of all the day-to-day missions (managing recruitment, salaries, bonuses, benefits, staffing, training employees, developing internal skills, ensuring good coordination and communication between departments, etc.). managing trade unions, ensuring career development, etc.).

As head of the management committee, the interim director manages all general management functions. He has a perfect command of each of the organization’s branches, guarantees the growth of the business, implements adjustments if necessary, identifies areas for improvement, etc. It thus creates an environment conducive to facilitating the handover of functions to the new DG.

Conduct an Employment Protection Plan (PSE)

Are you required to formalize an Employment Safeguard Plan (PSE) within your company following the economic dismissal of several of your employees? Given the human and financial stakes of such a step, this period can be particularly difficult to deploy internally. The intervention of an interim HR director will then be a preferred solution. Thanks to his external positioning, his neutrality and his pragmatism, he will be able to take strong and strategic decisions if necessary, and maintain social dialogue in this delicate context.

Overcoming an internal crisis

Whether it is a financial difficulty, a change of manager, a drop in activity, a sudden spike in growth or a reduction in the workforce, a period of crisis requires composure, responsiveness, control and great operational efficiency. These are all qualities demonstrated by our HR interim managers, who will be able to motivate your employees, unite your teams, and deploy targeted recovery plans to ensure the future of your company.

Carry out a successful corporate restructuring

Is your company currently in the midst of a restructuring phase? The interim HR director, who is used to leading this type of major project, will be able to manage this profound transformation with great agility, whatever it may be (reorganization of teams or departments following a merger-acquisition, closure of a site, reduction in staff, etc.).

Modernize your recruitment techniques

The HR sector is not spared by the digital transformation, and many companies have now adapted their recruitment process to the new habits of candidates. The interim HR director, who is aware of the latest developments in the sector, has a perfect mastery of innovative recruitment methods and tools, which are essential to boost the recruitment of talent, enhance your employer brand, and retain your employees.
