One of the keys to achieving the objectives set by an organization is to ensure its human resource management is consistent with its defined strategy. Compensation is one of the main tools available to business organizations for attracting talent and enhancing employee performance.

The Garrigues Human Capital Services (HCS) practice boasts a team of lawyers, economists and consultants who advise businesses on the organization and compensation of human resources. We go beyond traditional compensation and organization consulting, providing a comprehensive service covering strategic and design implications that includes specific advice in relation to corporate human resources.

We assist numerous financial institutions in adapting their compensation policies to the changing regulatory landscape. We are also proud to advise the appointments and compensation committees of the boards of many listed companies.

Garrigues HCS is also the driving force behind the HR Directors’ Forum which brings together executives from a large array of companies with a view to sharing and proposing solutions for the main HR organization and compensation issues.
