International Human Resources Consulting Services

When companies expand internationally or integrate a merger and acquisition project, they are often surprised to find that their biggest challenges to success are not so much finances, business strategy or legal issues. Rather, key to success is appropriately addressing the people-related side of the business: integrating corporate culture, managing diverse teams of employees, developing leaders who can work across borders, and serving customers with unfamiliar expectations and needs.

To effectively master differences between people, processes and products, your global company needs:

  • A global strategy that uses cultural difference as source of competitive advantage
  • Global leaders who can navigate between competing requirements of corporate strategy and local implementation
  • An effective international assignment process
  • Global human resource practices that enable and motivate your staff to be their best
  • Cross-cultural collaboration skills among your managers and teams
  • A powerful organization design that allows your employees to work effectively across boundaries
  • A corporate learning process that enables all staff to make knowledge based decisions and exchange information among local sites, functions, and hierarchy levels

The Global Effectiveness Group offers an integrated suite of consulting services that can be tailored to the needs of international firms in each of the areas mentioned above.
