Novita’s HR Journey – From a Solid Foundation to a Fully Functional System
One of our strongest competitive advantages has always been our ability to offer tailored solutions rather than generic services. A great example of this is our collaboration with Novita, the largest hand-knitting yarn manufacturer in the Nordics. We built a customized HR system for this Finnish family-owned company, starting with a thorough current-state analysis to identify strengths and development areas. We then crafted a comprehensive HR handbook, documented valuable tacit knowledge, and established an annual HR calendar to enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, we assisted with regulatory documentation and helped improve leadership practices to meet the needs of a growing organization.
aTalent provided us with a comprehensive turnkey solution. I was particularly pleased with the transparent pricing and excellent service – support was always readily available. Our employees have also given very positive feedback.
