ACHIEVEMENTS OF 2024
The BIA HCS consultancy team has recorded significant achievements across various areas of activity. Among the most notable are the successful resolution of complex cases, such as negotiating and registering collective labor agreements at the company level, managing disciplinary dismissals, and providing optimal solutions for implementing numerous legislative acts. These accomplishments reflect the company’s commitment to supporting its partners in successfully navigating legislative and organizational challenges.
Our portfolio includes companies that have been collaborating with BIA for over 15 years or return periodically for specific projects. This partnership highlights the positive impact of the services we provide. Clients benefit from prompt responses and optimal solutions, based on the extensive experience of our consultants in labor legislation and human resources.
INDICATORS OF SUCCESS IN COLLABORATION WITH BUSINESS PARTNERS
Client loyalty is one of the most important indicators of BIA HCS’s success. The fact that some companies have been collaborating with BIA for over 15 years or return periodically for specific projects underscores the positive impact of the services provided. Clients benefit from prompt responses and optimal solutions, grounded in the extensive experience of our consultants.
The duration of collaborations and the annual feedback meetings conducted by the company’s management demonstrate the high level of client satisfaction. These meetings not only ensure the maintenance of high service standards but also create opportunities for continuous improvement.
HOW THE BIA HCS CONSULTANCY TEAM ADAPTED TO THE LEGISLATIVE CHANGES OF 2024
The legislative changes of 2024 required companies to adapt continuously, and BIA HCS demonstrated a proactive approach in this regard. The team provided clients with swift solutions and implemented policies and procedures aligned with the new legislative requirements. This approach was essential in enabling companies to remain compliant with regulations and avoid potential legal issues
More than one-third of companies in Romania (35%) are unable to find enough employees, while 41% face a skills shortage needed to meet current business demands, according to the Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2023 study. In this context, organizations are increasingly turning to so-called “workforce ecosystems,” which involve identifying and managing new types of human resources, such as consultants (52% of the companies surveyed), freelancers and subcontractors (50%), or outsourced service centers (38%). These complement the traditional workforce, consisting of full-time or part-time employees.
ADVANTAGES OF OUTSOURCING HUMAN RESOURCES SERVICES
Ioana Dobre highlights that outsourcing HR consultancy services brings companies benefits such as:
- Time savings
- Ongoing support in labor law
- Cost reduction
- Expertise from a skilled multidisciplinary team
These advantages allow leaders to focus on business growth and the development of their teams.
HOW BIA HCS STANDS OUT FROM OTHER CONSULTANCY COMPANIES
What sets BIA HCS apart from other consultancy firms is the team’s dedication. Regardless of the complexity of the case, company size, or value, clients are treated with the same level of commitment, and the relationship is built as a partnership, not just a service provider-client dynamic. This approach ensures a high level of trust and long-term collaboration.
LESSER-KNOWN SERVICES DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGN CITIZENS
A lesser-known aspect of BIA HCS services is the management of local employment projects for foreign citizens. The BIA HCS consultancy team is skilled in human resources and immigration, successfully handling these complex projects and providing clients with comprehensive support in this area.
Our immigration support includes:
- Initial analysis and evaluation of documentation to determine the appropriate visa type;
- Assistance in obtaining work visas, study visas, or business visas;
- Assessing the specific immigration needs of family members that expatriates relocating to Romania wish to bring with them;
- Support in obtaining permanent residency.
PLANS FOR 2025: DIVERSIFICATION AND EXPANSION
For 2025, the BIA HCS team aims to continue identifying client needs and leveraging its extensive human resources expertise to successfully address every case. Expanding and diversifying services in areas such as HR consultancy and immigration will remain priorities and play a key role in the company’s strategy.
In 2025, BIA HCS will continue to be a trusted partner for companies looking to optimize their HR processes, and understand and adapt to legislative changes in labor and fiscal regulations. With a dedicated team and a client-focused approach tailored to the specifics of each business, BIA HCS helps you maintain strong relationships with your team and avoid legal challenges.
