I’m excited to be joining the German Mittelstand network, and here’s why. My goal is to highlight the option of working with external resources as a pathway to success in a volatile market environment. Traditionally, engaging external consultants was seen as a luxury—something reserved for exceptional situations or companies with substantial budgets. These consultants often delivered new concepts but rarely helped execute those recommendations, leaving businesses to manage the implementation on their own, which often didn’t work.
Things Have Changed
However, this perception no longer holds true. Today, external support should be a strategic tool for flexing your cost structure, bringing in expertise that might otherwise be inaccessible, to help grow and professionalize your business. In today’s volatile market environment, the traditional approach to HR is no longer sufficient.
For instance, if you’re struggling to identify candidates and fill your open positions quickly, professional HR support can update your recruitment processes to meet and exceed market standards.
Or perhaps you find your HR staff bogged down by processes that don’t seem to add value. As an external HR consultant, I can help you streamline and improve these processes, freeing up their time to focus on your employees and core business activities.
Additionally, if you’re looking for someone to spar with on important topics like feedback culture and employee engagement, I can offer valuable insights and actionable strategies.
These are just a few examples of how flexible HR services can support your business.
My Impact: Sharing Experiences and Insights
Being part of the German Mittelstand network has already proven invaluable. Just recently, I joined a conversation on how to attract more women into technical jobs. It was an enlightening mix of entrepreneurs at the table, ranging from university professors to CEOs of small businesses.
Everyone shared their challenges in attracting women to technical positions, but there were also many best practices exchanged. We learned a lot from each other, and everyone walked away with at least ten actionable steps they could take within their companies to improve the rate of young girls and women entering technical fields. This kind of knowledge sharing and collaboration is precisely what the Mittelstand network thrives on.
