Consultation

Human resource (HR) consulting, also referred to as human capital advisory or HRM consulting, spans advisory and implementation activities related to the management of an organisation’s human capital and the HR function.

At EON-FMCG Search our scope of services range from overarching work on human capital strategy to the design and deployment of a compensation & benefits framework down to the transformation of the HR function.

The market for human resource consulting services consists of eight main disciplines: Human Capital Strategy, Compensation & Benefits, Organisational Change, HR Function, Talent Management, HR Analytics, Learning & Development and HR Technology.

What We Do as HR Consultants…

At EON-FMCG Search our core focus centres around:

  • HR Advisory
  • Regulatory/Legal Advisory
  • Organizational Design Strategy
  • Business Ethics and Corporate Governance
  • Leadership & Emotional Intelligence
As Human Resources consultants, we are generally hired by three types of clients.
Firstly, HR advisors support HR directors and managers of client organisations with improving the performance of the HR function – examples include implementing a HR business partner delivery model, redesigning HR processes or implementing a HRIS system. 
Secondly, HR consultants are hired by clients –  business, HR or works councils – to support broader human capital issues. This can range from providing HR support with interventions to managing a cultural transformation or developing a new talent management strategy for critical business functions.
Lastly, HR consultants are typically staffed on large transformations to ensure that the necessary people and human capital expertise is on board, complementing the traditional ‘hard’ functional skills that already are part of the project. In this case, the client is often an internal consulting department that leads the delivery of the engagement. For example: a Finance Transformation programme at a client will be led by the Finance service line, which subsequently will call upon human capital consultants to lead areas such as leadership alignment, change management, learning and communication.
As HR consulting our practice of delivering all aspects of human resource management as an external provider, and with the professional and business issues associated with operating such a practice—including client development, contracts and client management.

Corporate Governance is concerned with holding the balance between economic and social goals and between indivudual and communual goals. The governance framework is there to encourage the efficient use of resources and equally to require accountability for the stewardship of those resources. At EON-FMCG Search the aim is to align as nearly as possible the interests of individuals, corporate and society.
Good corporate governance begins with a company’s own internal practices and policies. While coporate governance issues are common across organisations, each company requires governance principles that are unique in their approach . Good governance is, ultimately, the sine qua non for continued growth and prosperity.

Corporate governance ensures that long term strategic objectives and plans are estabilished and that the proper management structure is in place. Comapanies that provide corporate governance both in terms of practice and result can expect the backing of not only its employees but of customers too.

HR leaders rely on EQ to lead, manage, and collaborate with employees, while managers, in particular, need EQ to inspire engagement, motivation, retention, and productivity. 


Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand your own and others’ emotions and how they drive behavior, and then using that knowledge to motivate others. 
 
“Most people make mistakes around emotional intelligence because they don’t understand what’s going on with other people,” says Travis Bradberry, president of TalentSmart in San Diego, which provides emotional intelligence tests and training. “They don’t even necessarily understand what’s going on with themselves.” 
 
“Leaders prime the emotional state of the organization,” Bradberry says. “So when they’re ineffective, when they set poor examples of how they treat other people, that trickles down throughout the company.” The result could be low employee engagement or high turnover because of the toxic interactions between people. 
 
“It’s very hard on morale, and you start to lose that discretionary effort that you get from people who love their jobs and work in motivating, comfortable environments,” he says. 
 
One telltale sign of leaders who need to work on managing their emotions is that they frequently have challenging interactions with others.
 
“They find people very difficult, and they don’t tend to understand that they are part of the equation,” Bradberry says.
On the other hand, leaders with high emotional intelligence “tend to be uplifted by their interactions with people and think it’s great to have a team,” he says.
The good news is you can improve your emotional intelligence, if you’re willing to work at it.
“It’s really critical for somebody who wants to excel as a manager and leader that they look at developing these skills. And by the way, they can be learned,” says Annie McKee, a senior fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s graduate school of education who teaches leadership and emotional intelligence and is co-author of Becoming a Resonant Leader (Harvard Business Review Press, 2008).
McKee and fellow researchers have identified the following four key elements of emotional intelligence:
 
Self-Awareness
Frequently, leaders don’t see a need to control their emotions because they’ve reached their lofty position without doing so—and their teams are afraid to clue them in. 
A 360-degree feedback process can help pinpoint problem areas. The assessment, which uses input from supervisors, colleagues and subordinates, is often eye-opening.
A more low-profile approach is to simply ask trusted colleagues.
“It’s good for all leaders to get some honest feedback,” says Cherniss, noting that some companies are requiring executives to focus on emotional intelligence as part of their leadership development programs.
 
Social Awareness
People without this skill don’t understand that, in social interactions, they need to focus more on the other person than themselves. They miss important cues because they’re always thinking about what they will say next.
Those prompts can be particularly subtle with subordinates, who often defer to authority and may be reluctant to share what’s on their mind directly. Learning to read nonverbal signals can provide clues about what they’re feeling, Bradberry advises.
Ask team members from time to time how they’re feeling about a particular project, suggests Joshua Freedman, the San Francisco-based CEO of 6 Seconds, a global nonprofit researching and sharing best practices for emotional intelligence. Just the act of acknowledging their stress can help them feel better, he says.
 
Self-Management
nce you’ve determined which areas to work on, focus on achieving one or two goals. 
 
“Self-management is getting your emotions to produce the behavior you want,” Bradberry says. “Sometimes that’s keeping yourself from doing something. Other times it’s magnifying a productive behavior.”
 
Here are some tips from the experts:
Set narrow, measurable goals. It could be as simple as giving your undivided attention to someone who walks into your office or as difficult as eliminating habitual angry outbursts.
 
Keep a journal. Stop several times a day and jot down what you’re feeling and why, McKee advises. “Am I angry because that person just snapped at me and I feel my job is on the line? Maybe it’s not because he hates you. It could be he’s having a bad day,” she says.
 
Quiz yourself. In larger companies, executives may have the opportunity to work with a coach who can help them to recognize the emotions they are feeling and to use them in more-productive ways. 
 
“Sadness, anger and fear are signals to help us inform our actions,” says Shawn Kent Hayashi, an executive coach, a consultant and CEO of The Professional Development Group in Center Valley, Pa. 
 
‘That 20-second pause that engages your thinking brain instead of your out-of-control emotional brain is all it takes to be more effective.’
 
She teaches clients questions to ask themselves to analyze their feelings. For example, a leader prone to lashing out might ask questions such as: “What crossed my boundaries? Who do I need to talk to to clean up this situation? Am I the one who didn’t meet my own standards?” 
 
Dig beneath the surface because sometimes hidden emotions are driving our behavior, Freedman says. 
 
Pause and reflect. Before reacting, take a deep breath and think about what’s really going on with both you and the other person. “That 20-second pause that engages your thinking brain instead of your out-of-control emotional brain is all it takes to be more effective,” McKee says.
Find an outlet. When you feel like exploding, let off steam with a trusted friend instead. “It’s venting with a purpose, venting with the intention of learning something,” McKee explains.
 
Psych yourself up. “Other people pick up on the leader’s mood, so having a positive outlook and communicating with people can really pull a team along in doing outstanding work,” says Geri Grossman, president of My Executive Coach in Buffalo, N.Y. 
 
Practice. Replacing destructive habits with productive ones takes a lot of time and effort. Realize that it won’t happen overnight. 
 
 
Relationship Management
Use your new insights to inspire your workforce. Researchers have found that “outstanding leaders almost continuously monitor the emotional climate in any setting where they are,” Cherniss says. 
 
They can walk into a room and lift people up. “They’re very good in the way they interact with people, in the way they express their own feelings and getting other people to feel good even if the situation is a difficult one,” he says. “They give them a sense of hope and commitment to the goal.”
That’s true genius.
