HR Consultancy For Mid-Size Business

Partner for mid-size businesses
Mid-size businesses in Europe find themselves at an exciting inflection point. At this stage, you have established yourself in the marketplace with a strong value proposition, and your customer base has sustained growth over time. 

While some startups launch at this size, most mid-size companies have grown beyond both the start-up and small business phases. 

Mid-size businesses must focus on growth in order to continue to be successful. Stagnancy can spell disaster, yet many businesses at this stage struggle to see continued growth. Although there are many factors that could contribute to this kind of plateau, we often see the ways that outdated, one-size-fits-all, and ineffective HR strategies cause problems. 

At Europe HR Solutions, we offer HR consultancy in Europe for mid-size businesses. Our goal is to provide solutions to both common and unique human resources challenges. HR consulting for mid-size companies can help your company find new success. 

What makes a mid-size company unique?

Mid-size companies are unique in the global marketplace. That means their HR needs are unique, too. 

Some of the things that define a mid-size company include: 

  • They sit in the “middle zone” of development, so they have established some processes but still have the opportunity to implement new HR strategies. 
  • The headcount is large enough that they need advanced HR systems and workforce management, but their workforce is not so large that highly complex corporate HR systems are necessary. 
  • Growth can be stagnant or rapid; HR departments must be able to strategically scale up operations and infrastructure in the midst of a lot of unpredictability. 
  • Talent delegation, management training, and retention strategies are all essential issues. 
  • The company’s market validation has been established, but there is still vulnerability to failure if operations stall. 
  • Mid-size businesses may face challenges to accessing capital, making budgeting more important than ever before. 
  • Marketing, sales, and distribution are ramping up during the mid-size stage of growth, which requires coordination and effective management. 
  • Geographic expansion is often on the horizon, including expanding into other European countries or regions. 
Mid-sized businesses can choose to outsource specific HR functions, such as payroll processing, benefits administration, or recruitment, based on their unique needs.

    Thanks to Inez, I have gained more insight into how I can achieve my goals. She penetrates directly into the heart of the matter and she will help you out in finding the solution for your challenge. Inez has taught me to look at my challenges from another perspective. She thinks with you and offers a framework to explore and to achieve your true desires. She supports you in discovering your own potential through making you aware of your inner dimensions. She is pleasant, professional and asks critical questions. Through the transformative coaching process, I have learned several techniques on how to further explore and discover my potential. This coaching process has transformed me in such a way that I feel more confident and peaceful to reach my goals, pledges and purpose.

    Christina Lambourne
    Europe HR Solutions have been vital to the HR journey of our business. To begin with we had two small acquired businesses and one newly founded company which all needed some structure and a lot of knowledge as a good foundation. Inez’ team in UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands have been hugely supportive and were fundamental to put in place the solid policies and the processes we now have in place. Their highly professional approach in combination with true empathy and flexibility was a breath of fresh air. We had a true partnership for over 18 months now and know we can rely on the team in day to day as well as critical and more challenging situations. Europe HR Solutions have supported us with recruitment, general HR advisory, policies, TUPE, Coaching, redundancies, and everything in between. As the CFO for the business, I’m eternally grateful for all the very practical and human support I have received to date and look forward to continuing this relationship.

    Inez and her team at Europe HR Solutions are a delight to work with. I first met Inez back in 2015, and at that time, she helped me navigate hiring my Company’s 1st employee in the Netherlands. In 2024, I found myself in a similar situation, and once again, I needed guidance to help navigate employment law, this time in France and Germany. Inez was quick to respond, easy to schedule time with, and she did a fabulous job listening/learning about my Company’s current state and our need. Quickly, she connected me with the country specific consultants from her team, who were both personable and knowledgeable, and I look forward to the next time I get to reach out to them again. Inez and her team are amazing resources that I am lucky to have as part of my network.
