What we do
Advisory services built for the Nordic landscape
Five integrated disciplines — each grounded in deep regional expertise — to help organisations design, manage, and optimise their people programmes across Scandinavia.
Core service
Benefits programmes that attract, retain, and engage
Capabilities
- Benefits benchmarking and gap analysis
- Programme design and vendor selection
- Flexible benefits platform implementation
- Annual review and renewal management
- Employee communication and engagement
Nordic labour markets set a high baseline for employee benefits. We help organisations go further — designing programmes that reflect both regulatory requirements and genuine competitive advantage.
From initial benchmarking through to annual review cycles, our consultants work alongside HR and finance teams to build benefits structures that are financially sustainable, legally compliant, and valued by employees.
We cover the full spectrum: health and life insurance, supplementary pension contributions, flexible benefits platforms, and non-cash benefits aligned with Nordic tax frameworks.
Workforce health
Evidence-based wellness that reduces absenteeism
Capabilities
- Wellbeing needs assessment and baseline measurement
- Programme design: physical, mental, and social health
- Occupational health provider selection
- Manager training and culture change support
- Reporting frameworks and ROI measurement
Workforce wellbeing is a material business issue. High absenteeism, presenteeism, and burnout carry measurable costs — and Nordic employers are increasingly held to a higher standard of duty of care.
Our wellness advisory practice draws on occupational health research and Nordic best practice to build programmes that address physical, mental, and social wellbeing in an integrated way.
We help organisations move beyond generic wellness initiatives to structured, measurable programmes with clear KPIs and board-level reporting.
Financial protection
Navigating Nordic pension and insurance complexity
Capabilities
- Pension scheme design and compliance review
- Group insurance structure and procurement
- Cross-border pension and insurance arrangements
- Regulatory compliance and reporting
- Provider due diligence and tender management
Pension and insurance obligations in the Nordic region are among the most complex in Europe. Collective agreements, statutory minimums, and supplementary schemes interact in ways that require specialist knowledge to navigate correctly.
We advise on group life, disability, and health insurance structures, as well as occupational pension schemes across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland — including cross-border arrangements for multinational workforces.
Our independence from insurance providers means our recommendations are driven entirely by client outcomes, not commission structures.
Market expansion
Entering Nordic markets with confidence
Capabilities
- HR and benefits due diligence
- Employment proposition design
- Collective agreement analysis and strategy
- Social security and payroll compliance setup
- Ongoing HR advisory retainer
Establishing operations in the Nordic region requires more than a legal entity. Employment law, collective bargaining agreements, social security obligations, and cultural expectations around the employment relationship all demand careful preparation.
We provide end-to-end support for organisations entering Nordic markets — from initial HR and benefits due diligence through to the design of a compliant, competitive employment proposition.
Our advisors have supported market entries across all five Nordic countries, working with organisations ranging from early-stage technology companies to established multinationals.
Regulatory compliance
Staying compliant in a complex regulatory environment
Capabilities
- Employment law compliance audit
- Collective agreement interpretation and advice
- GDPR and data protection for HR
- Works council and co-determination support
- Regulatory change monitoring and briefings
Nordic employment law is protective, detailed, and subject to regular change. Collective agreements add another layer of obligation that varies by sector, region, and workforce composition.
Our compliance practice helps organisations maintain a clear picture of their obligations — and act quickly when regulations change. We conduct compliance audits, advise on specific employment law questions, and support organisations through regulatory investigations or disputes.
We work closely with local legal counsel to ensure our advisory is grounded in current law and practical in its application.
