HR Advisory · Zürich & International

Senior HR expertise.
When you need it most.

The HR leadership
your organisation needs.

Some organisations need a seasoned HR leader for a season, not a lifetime. A restructuring. A culture shift. A period of rapid growth. We step in as strategic partners — experienced, embedded, and fully committed for as long as you need us.

No junior consultants. No generic frameworks. Just senior expertise applied directly to your situation.

HR Advisory by The Talents Lab Group, built on the foundations of Laurent Lefèvre Consulting.

Senior leadership.
Without the full-time cost.

A fractional CHRO gives you everything a full-time HR executive brings — strategic vision, board-level credibility, people intuition — at the pace and cost that fits your stage.

Strategic depth
C-suite level thinking on your most critical people challenges.
Flexible engagement
One day a week or full immersion. We adapt to what you need.
No ramp-up theatre
We diagnose fast and move faster. No months of observation.
Real accountability
We own the outcomes. Not just the deliverables.
01
Fractional
CHRO Fractional
You need a Chief People Officer but you're not ready for a full-time hire. We step in as your interim CHRO — attending leadership meetings, setting people strategy, managing HR teams and driving the agenda that matters. Available for 6 months or more.
02
Advisory
HR Strategy
Where is your people function heading? We help you build a coherent HR strategy aligned with your business ambitions — talent planning, workforce design, HR operating model and the roadmap to get there.
03
Culture
Culture & Leadership
Culture doesn't fix itself. We work with leadership teams to articulate what the culture is, what it should be, and how to close the gap. Values, behaviours, rituals and the hard conversations that make it real.
04
Transformation
Future of Work
Hybrid models, four-day weeks, AI and the workplace, new leadership contracts. We help organisations navigate the shift thoughtfully — designing approaches that are both progressive and pragmatic.
05
Transformation
Change Management
Restructuring, mergers, leadership transitions, cultural overhauls. We guide organisations through change with a clear methodology, honest communication and the human sensitivity that makes the difference between change that sticks and change that doesn't.

Organisations at
an inflection point.

We work best with organisations that know something needs to change and are ready to do the work. Size matters less than ambition and honesty.

  • Scale-ups moving from startup to structured organisation
  • Mid-size companies without a senior HR leader
  • Multinationals navigating Swiss complexity
  • Founders who need a strategic thought partner on people
  • Boards looking for interim HR leadership during transitions
  • Organisations undergoing restructuring or cultural transformation

Honest.
Direct. Effective.

We don't come with a prefabricated answer. We come with the experience to ask the right questions — and the courage to say what others won't. Every engagement starts with listening and ends with measurable change.

Switzerland
Based in Zürich. Deep knowledge of the local market and regulatory landscape.
International
Multilingual. Cross-cultural. At ease in complex, diverse organisations.
Embedded
We work inside your organisation, not from the outside looking in.
Connected
Part of The Talents Lab Group ecosystem — recruitment, community and advisory in one.

"The best HR leaders are the ones who make themselves unnecessary — because they've built something that works without them."
