Mastering Workforce Optimisation
Noerr has extensive experience in making workforce deployment more flexible and reducing personnel costs for companies. Our particular strength lies in restructuring and reorganizations. We advise you on optimizing corporate and operational structures, implementing flexible personnel management, adjusting employment conditions (e.g., through restructuring agreements), and optimizing company pension schemes. We also successfully integrate works councils and unions into the process.
Despite preventive measures, crises can still arise. We ensure the best possible solution for your company. Together with you, we develop tailored strategies for a swift and cost-efficient restructuring. We lay the groundwork in advance for economically efficient negotiations on restructuring agreements, including reconciliation of interests and social plans (e.g., by terminating profit transfer agreements in advance). These negotiations are planned strategically and proactively, even extending to the formation of conciliation or arbitration committees. If insolvency cannot be avoided, we optimally prepare your company for a prompt and successful restructuring, including self-administration.
