Sometimes, the role of an employer can be challenging, especially when you need to keep up with changes in labor legislation, interpret various cases, or manage specific requests from employees as well as business partners. For all these situations, we have developed the Human Resources Consulting department within BIA HCS.
Ioana Dobre, Senior Consultancy Manager at BIA HCS, has over 15 years of experience with the company. She is a legal advisor and an expert in labor legislation, coordinating consultancy activities on labor relations issues.
Considering the legislative changes over the past year, which address aspects of taxation impacting labor relations, issues related to collective bargaining at the company level, and many others, as well as unforeseen situations that may arise in the regular employer-employee relationship, Ioana highlights the main advantages and reasons why BIA HCS partners turn to human resources consultancy services:
WHAT ARE THE MAIN REASONS MANY COMPANIES TURN TO HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTING SERVICES?
“The main reasons companies turn to our human resources consulting services are the solid know-how accumulated over more than 30 years of BIA’s activity, as well as the promptness and professionalism BIA consultants provide in responding to requests. Furthermore, some of the services offered by BIA consultants are highly time-consuming, such as the local employment processes for foreign citizens. Therefore, the support and assistance of specialists lead to a reduction in the time spent by our service beneficiaries and minimal involvement on their part in such processes.”
WHAT ARE THE STEPS FOR COLLABORATION WITH BIA HUMAN CAPITAL SOLUTIONS IN HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTING?
“Collaboration with BIA HCS in consulting is straightforward and designed specifically to support future partners! Potential or existing clients request specific services for which we issue a financial offer. If the client agrees to the offer, a service contract is signed, and the consultants assigned to the project can begin work on it immediately after the contract is signed (research, preparing a response, or documentation preparation, depending on the case).
Usually, the situations requiring certain consulting services need to be resolved within tight deadlines, and therefore, things must move very quickly from the initial moment of signing the contract with the client to the completion of the project. We take pride in the fact that, in most cases, the processes have been successfully completed, regardless of the complexity, urgency, or novelty of the subject matter. Naturally, there are also situations where resolving certain cases depends on legal deadlines or appointments granted by the relevant authorities. However, even in these cases, we strive to find the best working options that benefit our clients.
At BIA, we value teamwork, and we support each other without hesitation at all times, believing that this is the key to success. Differences in interpretation or approach to a situation have always led us to favorable solutions.”
WHAT SETS BIA HCS HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTING SERVICES APART FROM THOSE OFFERED BY OTHER SIMILAR COMPANIES?
“We stand out through professionalism and availability. Beyond these aspects, we have always believed it is essential to make every effort to understand your client because only in this way can you anticipate their needs and provide real support that simplifies their activities. At BIA, we are focused on proactivity and value long-term relationships and quality services, which is evident from our collaborations spanning over 20 years with some clients in our portfolio.”
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR COMPANIES THAT SEEK HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANCY?
“There are many advantages, but among the most important and visible ones are the certainty of a job well done and the time saved in completing a project.
Our mission is to handle the drafting of all necessary documents related to employee relations, provide support in disciplinary investigations, and assist in negotiations with employee representatives. Specifically, we carry out the following activities:

In our collaboration with partners, we place great emphasis on confidentiality and ensure that information is limited to the parties directly involved in the contractual collaboration.”
WHAT RESULTS HAVE YOU OBSERVED OVER TIME IN COMPANIES THAT HAVE SOUGHT LABOR RELATIONS COUNSELING?
“I believe the results are best seen by the companies that are our clients. However, the fact that we have clients we’ve been working with for over 20 years, as I mentioned earlier, shows that results are evident, clients feel them, and the partnerships fulfill their promised and agreed purpose.
In conclusion, a team of HR consultants with expertise in legal matters, human resources, and payroll helps you maintain fair relationships with your team and avoid legal issues.”
