joka HR Services GmbH - One-stop HR Solutions

In consultation, service and project management by the employee responsible for our project on the part of joka HR Services, we carried out a comprehensive and detailed inventory of the pension portfolio in the first step. In the second step, we jointly developed a concept for the realignment of the pension portfolio of our company with 60 years of company history.

 

joka HR Services, and in particular the employee responsible for our project, achieved the targeted goals by the end of the project on 31 March 2023 and thus made a significant contribution to the success of the realignment of the pension portfolio of our company. All the tasks assigned were carried out with great care and to our complete satisfaction. The issues were always approached in a solution-oriented manner. Adequate and flexible solutions were always found, which also took HR compliance into account and fit into the corporate culture. In contact with our employees, tact was demonstrated and clear communication was implemented. Tasks planned in the project, as well as unplanned, were implemented effectively. In unclear situations, the project management function always found a solution.

 

We know joka HR Services as a service company that is always able to work in a team and is very reliable, adapting to the needs of the client. Right from the start of the first talks on the planned project, joka HR Services was able to convince us with its flexibility as well as its communicative and open manner. In the complex sub-projects, a targeted approach was taken. We were informed about the project status all times. The objectives of the activities and tasks to be fulfilled were never lost sight of. There was clarity of roles and this was also lived.

 

Based on the above arguments, we consider joka HR Services to be very qualified as a service and consulting company for and in (change) projects in the field of holistic HR management and payroll accounting. We can recommend joka HR Services to potential clients without any reservations.

Health Care Manager, Agaplesion

Joka HR services supported us during a restructuring process in the HR department. During several days of interviews, Ms. Taraszewski was able to get a picture of the procedures and processes in the department very quickly. As a result, she presented us with a comprehensive elaboration of the results and weak points and also pointed out various optimization possibilities. Due to the convincing activities, we are planning to commission joka HR Services with a further support of the upcoming restructuring.

Candice Bosteels,

People Director, Tree Energy Solutions GmbH

“I very much appreciated the speediness and flexibility of Joka-HR services in finding a solution to help us out. Joka-HR services has a range of great HR specialists and generalists, with various levels of seniority and each with their own strengths. This offered the opportunity to us, as a client, to get all competencies we required, as Joka-HR brought in various members of their team as needed. I was particularly impressed with the senior but very pragmatic advice from Katrin, from a legal HR perspective, and the combination of two Senior HR Consultants with different experiences and backgrounds for the project and operational HR work was very strong. Looking forward to working together again a next time.”

"We have worked with a very competent, reliable and trustful HR Consultant who supported us in HR Management and Global Recruitment. The tasks were always performed professionally and responsibly. The interaction was always friendly and appreciative. We warmly recommend the Consultants of joka HR Services at any time."

Global HR Business Partner

"Katrin Riech-Neumann worked for us as Interim HR Director/Prokurist from May 2020 to May 2021. From May 2020 to January 2021, she led the HR team and managed all HR processes in Germany along with several change processes. From January 2021, she trained me as her permanent successor and handed over the tasks to me. Katrin continued to support some important projects as a consultant until May 2021.

 

Katrin far exceeded our expectations, as many challenging issues and projects were successfully concluded or advanced in a short time under her leadership. In particular, her negotiating skills and excellent communication, including communication with the works councils, contributed greatly to the success of the projects. Katrin was always able to deal with all matters in a flexible and pragmatic way.  She always found very good solutions to any challenges with her very good specialist knowledge and with her positive, hands-on and pleasant attitude.

The positive effect of interim management in this context deserves special mention. Due to the filling of the position, the intensive and good communication with the stakeholder and the hands-on mentality of Katrin, the handover was very professional and it was very beneficial for me personally, as well as the company as a whole, that the position did not remain unfilled for almost a year.

 

I was therefore positively surprised by this form of cooperation. I am very happy to recommend Katrin Riech-Neumann & joka HR Services."
