When standard solutions are not enough

A workforce issue is often an operational issue in disguise.

Hiring a person is not enough. People need to know what is expected, who leads them, why their work matters and how good performance is recognised.

Benefits may open the door. Whether people stay and perform depends on the environment, leadership, fairness and effective work organisation.

We do not solve only today's shift. We build a system that enables the company to operate and grow.

Partnership with management

We do not replace internal HR.
We are its strategic partner.

Internal HR ensures the company's day-to-day agenda. Zimáček Consulting steps in when an external perspective, an exceptional situation or a change to the system itself is required.

Depending on the scope, we assemble a team of experienced specialists. Every engagement has clear leadership, accountability and a direct link to the company's decision-making level.

Discreet. Practical. Accountable for a high-quality solution.

Areas of expertise

From the real cause
to a solution that works.

Every service is tailored to the actual operation. We do not sell generic presentations or textbook HR advice.

Indicative pricing

Expertise has a clear value.

Fees reflect the scope, urgency and level of responsibility. The figures below provide an initial indication before our on-site visit.

In person. At your operation.

We do not provide professional consulting by phone or video call. We come to you because responsible advice can only be given after seeing the real workplace, the people and the way the operation functions.

CRITICAL WORKFORCE MOBILISATION

Hundreds of workers.
One month.
No room for error.

An international manufacturing company needed 380 employees within a single month to prevent production disruption.

During the project, the brief changed fundamentally and part of the operation was relocated to Romania. Milan Zimáček coordinated the entire project: sourcing suitable workers, international partners, transport, accommodation, onboarding, quality control and subsequent transfers to other workplaces.

410workers in the project despite a major change in scope

SCALING A MANUFACTURING OPERATION

From one hall and 12 workers to a three-hall operation with more than 220 employees.

Workforce delivery accompanied the expansion of production, the pressing shop and logistics. The initial 12-person team grew into a fully operational three-hall facility with more than 220 employees.

Experience that recognises the difference between a symptom and its cause.

Over 25 years, Milan has dealt with thousands of workforce situations: production lines, logistics operations, office teams, international workers, rapid recruitment, start-ups and reorganisations.

His value goes beyond HR expertise. He understands how people actually work, how operations respond to change and what must be done so that a solution continues to work after the consultant leaves.

How we work

From the first conversation
to a transferable system.

Speed does not mean taking shortcuts. It means using experience, setting the right priorities and focusing energy where it has real impact.

01

Understand the operation

We begin with company objectives, numbers, shifts, people and the real situation at the workplace - not a universal methodology.

02

Identify the true cause

We determine whether the issue lies in recruitment, capacity, work organisation, leadership, communication or the way these elements interact.

03

Design a workable solution

Recommendations must work not only in a presentation, but also in manufacturing, logistics, the office and daily decision-making.

04

Make the change happen

As required, we work alongside management, lead the project, engage the internal team and hand over a functioning, manageable system.

What we stand for

Principles that must be visible in the operation.

01

We do not merely fill vacancies. We build operations that work.

02

The right people are not enough. They need the right environment.

03

Performance does not begin in a spreadsheet. It begins with people who are well led.

04

A stable team does not happen by chance. It is the result of an effective system.

05

The least expensive recruitment is the one you do not have to repeat.
