The Freihoff Group was in an M&A phase with the aim of finding a strong partner with whom it could grow organically and through add-on acquisitions.
The Freihoff Group has hired an HR manager to manage all HR issues with the aim of firstly stabilizing the foundations and secondly supporting growth with scalable processes.
"Sparring with the HR experts from torq.partners helped us to tackle pressing issues and challenges more efficiently. At the same time, we benefited from the practical support. I think almost every company can use this kind of sparring."

HR Manager
Challenges
The HR Manager joined the company during a period of change and faced the unique challenge of managing change without support from colleagues in management or elsewhere.
The role required strategic thinking, adaptability and the ability to communicate the value of HR to others.
The manager needed to stabilize and build HR processes, balancing immediate needs with long-term business goals, while advocating the strategic importance of HR in driving success through effective people management.
Solution
In order to overcome the challenges mentioned above, the HR Manager held regular sparring sessions with us on current topics, challenges and goals relating to HR and the company's current development.
In addition, we provided hands-on support to ensure critical tasks were completed efficiently, demonstrating the practical value of HR while building key processes.
The tasks included, for example, the analysis of suitable HRIS and ATS solutions, the structuring and prioritization of the HR Manager's tasks and the creation of HR documents.
Impact
We ensured a good onboarding experience for the HR manager.
We discussed relevant HR topics within the Freihoff Group in order to drive forward the development of this area.
As part of this sparring session, we took on the role of active listener.
