Get the best out of your workforce and let your people thrive
Global growth, talent scarcity, skills mismatches, disruptive innovations, inefficient processes: these are all examples of complex challenges facing business leaders. In this volatile and uncertain economy, your people ultimately represent a crucial competitive advantage. This implies the need to build resilient, enabled, growing, and agile workforces that are at the heart of their organisations.
Are you looking to improve the way you attract, select, retain, develop and engage the diverse workforce you need?
Are you currently facing changes in your organisation? Are you finding it challenging to align, engage, and enable your people during this change?
How do you create a culture that supports high performance and also gives people a sense of belonging?
Is your compensation and benefits package aligned with what people want, as well as being tax-optimised?
Do you need to rethink your HR functional structure, capabilities and roles to enable a shift in focus to more strategic, high-value activities?
How do you organise hybrid working effectively, taking people into consideration along with the legal and tax point of view?
With the changing needs for skills and competencies, is your strategic workforce planning ready to support your business challenges?
Does your leadership have the right competencies to meet the challenges your organisation faces?
How can you leverage the power of diverse teams and inclusive practices to drive greater business success and innovation?

Leadership and DEI
Megatrends are shaping our world and will continue to do so for many years to come. All types of organisations and leaders must significantly reconfigure their businesses to remain economically viable in the future. In this context, we need transformative inclusive leaders: those who set radical ambitions and solve real problems, rather than preserving the status quo and inevitably setting their organisations up to fail. But having a transformative inclusive leadershipstyle/mindset doesn’t solely depend on the leaders themselves. Organisational culture helps to create the necessary conditions for transformative leadership to thrive. We help organisations by:
Supporting leaders in a highly complex world and shaping their legacy for future generations
Leveraging the power of diverse teams and sustainable inclusive leadership to drive greater business results and innovation
Building a strong leadership pipeline and selecting the best leaders to ensure the success of your organisation
Reinforcing a newly-assembled leadership team to guarantee an effective team performance

Culture
A strong company culture is the glue that binds your team together, drives performance and contributes to overall success. At PwC, we specialise in helping organisations create and sustain a culture that aligns with your business strategy and operating model. Our experts collaborate with you to understand the unique needs and challenges of your organisation and develop a comprehensive strategy to transform your culture by:
Reinforcing your culture and sense of belonging, while working hybrid
- Changing the mindset within your organisation and grow towards a more innovative organisation
Improving employee engagement, or increasing efficiency
Embedding and levering organisation/personal purpose
Creating an integrated culture and increased trust in the context of M&A
Increasing alignment between (executive) teams
- Improving the general climate and connectedness within your organisation
Change management
In order to stay relevant, organisations initiate major projects and transformations, betting on new technologies, outlining new processes and defining new ways of working. Ultimately, the success of the transformation will depend on how employees accept and adapt to working with the changes. Organisations that put their people at the heart of change are measurably more likely to deliver successful outcomes.
We help you take an active approach to enable your people to accept, adopt and drive sustainable change and achieve measurable results for the business by:
Creating a clear case for change in line with the overall objective or vision
Developing a change management plan that is specific for your context and the impacted roles
Implementing the change management strategy effectively, taking into account the right experience/profile for each role
Supporting your people to embrace the new way of working, enabling behavioural change
Measuring the impact to optimise the approach and increase adoption

Payroll transformation
Over the years, payroll has become more and more complex and most likely your organisation has been subject to and needed to adapt to various business transformations.
PwC has a broad team of payroll experts specialised in assisting employers in the payroll process review to assess the current situation and identify the potential areas for improvement. We can assist you in making sure that your payroll is compliant with the laws and labour agreements applicable to your organisation.
Employment law
The rapidly developing employment law landscape reaches every corner of your business and can impact your workforce in complex ways. Navigating this legal landscape and managing the associated risks is a key part of the modern workforce agenda and to help you do so, we work together with the Employment law experts of PwC Legal.
Reward
Having the right people in place is crucial for an organisation’s success, and offering an attractive reward (financial and non-financial) package is essential to remain competitive. But the wage burden also has to be taken into consideration.
We use our proven methodology to help you build a tailored C&B package that’s attractive to employees, but also tax optimised and cost neutral.
Our tax and social security specialists can help define the ideal pay structure for your executive and non-executive employees. They’ll also optimise the remuneration package so that it meets all legal, tax and social security requirements in Belgium and overseas.
