HR Advisory Services

For us, consulting is a matter of trust and interpersonal interactions

That's why you should get to know our advisory specialists as individuals: musicians, athletes and fruit growers, and also as highly-experienced professionals with a wide range of specialties and backgrounds. If you are in search of a pre-canned solution there are other services organizations that may better service your needs. With us, you get the best of methodology, and the power of individuals.

If you work with us, you will benefit from advisory services delivered by people who not only endeavor to know more about your industry than you do, but who are also musicians, athletes and fruit growers.  

We are like our services: individual, versatile, experienced and committed to what we do. From us, you should not expect standardized solution models out of a drawer or only theoretically acquired expertise, just as you cannot expect young potentials or 400-page presentations. We think together and ahead, we are sparring partners, analysts, organizers, project workers, communicators and we also lend a hand when it counts.

We speak HR and we can Technology

Benefit from our decades of experience in the HR environment - both professional and technological, strategic and operational

Payroll, time management, administration, recruiting, talent management, KPIs or self-services - no HR topic is alien to us. We know how HR departments look and work from the inside, nationally and internationally, on a large and small scale.

We know the different requirements and priorities of stakeholders, works councils, administrators, managers, but also the external impact factors such as providers, laws, current market trends and strategies.

All consultants have a technical background, come from the operational project and implementation business and in the ERP and cloud environment. We know Fiori apps, cloud connectors, integration centers, APIs, UI5 or ABAP not only from brochures and white papers, but as players in practical work.

We know about the technical possibilities, trends and potentials, but also about risks, pitfalls and misjudgments. And we know first-hand that it's the little things that cause big problems.

What you could expect from us

  • Company car with hitch

  • Tent-party and BBQ

  • Office dogs

  • 30 years experience in one

  • Occasional appearance of elephants and rhinos

What you should better not expect

  • School bus

  • Golf club

  • Skyscraper office

  • 30 consultants with one year experience

  • That no elephants and rhinos appear

The requirements in the HR environment are more complex than ever and will increase significantly in the future.

Decision-makers in HR face the strategic challenge of being technically innovative and organizationally flexible in HR, establishing effective and cost-efficient processes, attracting and retaining talent, creating continuous learning opportunities and - reinforced by Corona - providing new, more flexible working environments.

However, it is also the concrete, situation-related questions in practice to which HR decision-makers are expected to provide answers and solutions.

For example, what needs to be taken into account when setting up new organizational structures, or how do you effectively organize the merging of HR systems after mergers? When is it advisable to centralize HR processes and hand them over to external service providers (BPO)? Which cloud solutions suit the company and which external partners should be selected?

At a glance.

We have summarized all the information about our services.

Elephants, Rhinos and People

EPIUSE’s primary imperative is to go ‘Beyond Corporate Purpose’ in day-to-day activities.

Rather than simply donating a percentage of revenue or profits to charities, ‘Beyond Corporate Purpose’ is predicated upon EPI-USE’s implementing a multi-zone model (comprising for-profit, not-for-profit and impact investment zones). Under these terms, a professional, institutional delivery capability will be built in selected areas to support not-for-profit activity and impact investment.

Our primary focus areas are the preservation of Elephants, Rhinos and the economic uplifting of impoverished rural People in areas adjacent to the threatened species, or ‘ERP.’ This approach is highly differentiated from the conventional attitude of for-profit businesses to philanthropic activity.
