"A Leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite"

– Jack Welsh

Making a difference.

Human Resources has been the underestimated enabler to achieve business goals. Many People Organizations have been streamlined to „only“ administer the workforce, in the past.

By implementing a strong culture and leadership values as well as a safe environment where failure supports learning, your organization will not only enhance the employee experience, but automatically drive innovation and adapt to future challenges of work.

At ZellConsult we firmly believe that a best-in-class Human Resources Organization is the strategic enabler, supporting Leaders and Senior Executives on their journey to create a people first organization, enhanced by a cooperative culture, driven by excellent leadership and streamlined through technology.

Areas of expertise.

We provide an experienced interim Chief People Officer / CHRO to help you to transform your human capital organization into a talent organization, help you to set up efficient HR operations, drive complex transformations or simply to bridge a gap.

Going through transformation? No matter if cultural, organizational or technological transformations, we are happy to support either by driving the process directly or simply by supporting your experts.

Whether you are building up an online Learning Platform, implementing a shared services model, change your leadership culture or would like to open an office in Germany and need help with setting up a working HR department, we will support your projects from the drawing board to implementation.

Sometimes an outside view can put things into perspective. No matter if you are a first time Manager or Senior Executive, coaching provides an opportunity to reflect, helps you navigate difficult situations, broadens your horizon and gives security.

Many companies are driving towards a best-in-class HR department, but do not know how. We can design, plan and build what suits you best. No matter if you are a Global Organization or a Start-up. Your needs and the needs of your workforce are always at the center.

We strongly believe that technology helps any organization to make a big leap forward. Not only through HRIS Systems and Self Service Tools but also by data driven decisions and HR analytics.

If it has to do with people, it is our passion.
