Fabio Feller in the HRU Blog February 2025 – Interim management as a solution to the skills shortage?
HR interim management: a solution to the skills shortage?
The skills shortage remains one of the biggest challenges facing companies – including in Switzerland. While long-term solutions such as training programs or targeted recruitment campaigns are essential, companies often need quick and effective support to close the gap in the short term. This is where HR Interim Management comes into play.
Flexibility in a dynamic working environment
HR interim managers offer companies exactly what they need in crisis situations: immediate availability, strategic know-how and the ability to integrate seamlessly into existing teams. Be it in the operational environment, the introduction of new HR processes, support with restructuring or the development of innovative recruiting strategies – as interim managers, we not only bring expertise, but also fresh perspectives.
Strategic solutions instead of band-aids for emergencies
The greatest advantage of an HR interim manager is the combination of operational support and strategic foresight. Instead of just solving short-term problems, we work to build sustainable structures. In this way, we not only help companies to overcome acute bottlenecks, but also to strengthen their competitiveness in the long term.
An example from practice
A company in the MedTech sector was faced with the challenge of spinning off a business – a complex and resource-intensive project. Thanks to our support as HR interim managers, the project was implemented on time. We supported key processes such as the reorganization of employment contracts, the planning of personnel resources and the implementation of new HR structures. The result: a successful spin-off that not only ensured a smooth transition, but also created a strong foundation for both parts of the company.
