Building an HR Function for a New Manufacturing Plant

SYNOPSIS

Industry:FMCG Manufacturing
Service: Interim HR Management
Countries Involved: Poland

Following the acquisition of two companies and the launch of a new production facility, a European FMCG manufacturer needed to recruit and onboard 100 production employees within six months while establishing a complete HR function. Inwenta, WIL Member from Poland, provided an Interim HR Manager to build the HR organisation and deliver the project
on schedule.

The Challenge

The company needed to establish an HR function from the ground up while integrating acquired businesses and preparing a new manufacturing plant for launch. Without an organisational structure, recruitment processes, salary framework or job descriptions, the project faced significant complexity. The remote location, four-shift operation and demanding timeline made rapid execution essential.
