Altro – Ensuring HR compliance across 7 countries

Altro is a long-established UK-based company with operations across Europe, known for its commitment to high-quality products and strong internal standards. As the business expanded into markets such as Ireland, Poland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and Sweden, Altro relied on its central HR team to support a diverse and evolving international workforce.

The Challenge

Altro, a well-established UK-based company with a centralized HR team, was managing operations across several European countries. As the business matured in markets such as Ireland, Poland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and Sweden, the need for local HR compliance expertise became increasingly urgent.

The primary challenge was ensuring that company-wide HR policies and management practices were fully compliant with the unique labor laws of each country, especially in light of evolving legislation and complex local requirements. Additionally, sensitive HR issues in Germany required expert intervention and strategic resolution

The Solution

Europe HR Solutions partnered with Altro to deliver a comprehensive multi-country HR compliance and training program. Our support included:

• Conducting in-depth HR compliance audits for each country of operation.
• Reviewing and updating HR policies and procedures to align with local laws.
• Designing and delivering tailored legal compliance training for managers in all seven countries, equipping them to manage teams with confidence and awareness of local requirements.
• Providing strategic support in Germany to handle sensitive business situations in accordance with labor law and best practice.

By bridging the gap between centralised HR strategy and local legal demands, we helped Altro reduce compliance risks while empowering its international management team.

The Results

• Full HR compliance audits completed across 7 European countries.
• Expert legal training delivered to business managers in local languages.
• Revised policies and procedures implemented to meet legal standards across all regions.
• Complex employment matters in Germany successfully resolved with minimal disruption.

This project demonstrates Europe HR Solutions’ capacity to deliver high-impact HR compliance support and leadership training across diverse European operations.
