HR Strategy and Implementation

Client profile

Our client is a major global asset manager managing over Euro 500 billion in assets that aims to offer its clients' best-in-class products, solutions and services across a wide range of asset classes and strategies.

Objective

PRPi was invited to advise the Chief Executive of a European owned UK asset management firm on an appropriate HR strategy which would enable the firm to attract, motivate and retain top quality investment talent.

Client's situation

Our client wanted to build its global competitiveness and presence in asset management and to review its HR strategy and compensation approach to facilitate the recruitment of top quality individuals.

Solution

Our consultants worked with the senior management team and existing HR team to identify key HR drivers to facilitate the required business transition.

Our strategic input included:

  • writing and presenting a comprehensive HR strategy
  • advising on salaries, benefits and bonus levels
  • benchmarking all roles to up-to-date regional and international market data
  • reviewing existing HR team resources and productivity

This involved:

  • agreeing future compensation funding levels with the Board and gaining agreement to fundamental change
  • being retained to implement key aspects over a 9-12 month period such as a performance management system.

Benefits

Our client introduced a new HR strategy to support its business plan to enable it to compete in employer brand and compensation terms with the top global players in the asset management industry.

Our client's feedback

"We needed access to an experienced asset management HR professional who could rapidly identify HR issues which were relevant to our strategic business goals. We found that PRPi were able, not only to fulfil this requirement rapidly, but also they were then able to provide top quality, practical solutions for key parts of the strategy such as remuneration planning and performance management."
