THE ROLE

Not an outsourced inbox. A management function.

The mandate turns business priorities into a French people plan, makes responsibilities explicit and keeps action moving between management meetings.

Depending on scope, it can cover workforce planning, contracts and policies, working time, employee relations, payroll input control, health and safety coordination, reporting and manager support.

OPERATING CADENCE

Visible decisions and controlled follow-through.

  1. 01

    Baseline

    Map workforce, agreements, providers, open risks and the decisions expected over the next 90 days.

  2. 02

    Decision rhythm

    Set a management cadence, owners, deadlines and a short risk-and-action dashboard.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    Prepare documents and consultations, brief managers, secure payroll inputs and track evidence.

  4. 04

    Review

    Measure what changed, close weak controls and reprioritise the next cycle.

THE OUTPUT

A 90-day people and compliance roadmap.
A named owner for each French HR process.
Decision-ready options for headquarters.
Reliable inputs for payroll and providers.
Manager guidance in usable language.
A documented escalation path.

The exact scope is agreed in writing. Legal representation, payroll production, tax and immigration advice remain with the appropriately qualified provider where needed.
