10 k Beratung: A Human-Centered Approach to HR Transformation in Germany

Who is 10 k Beratung?

10 k Beratung offers individuals and companies comprehensive and personalised support in all areas of personnel-related change.

We combine efficient consultancy with smart and appropriate implementation.

Services include HR change management, training, coaching and education for managers and works councils, consistent communication and the planning and implementation of HR solutions.

A Proven Partner in HR Transformation in Germany

Employee support in Germany is based on a foundation that is both legally and culturally established and unparalleled in Europe.

The dual education system, institutionalised co-determination through works councils, and strong emphasis on lifelong learning all create a framework through which employees can receive targeted support, even in challenging times.

Our core values: ‘Highly committed, personable, direct and honest’. These values underpin our interactions with employees, as well as our support for company management and committees.

Silvia Kohlberger and Stefan Detzel, the management team, manage and are responsible for every project. This means that our customers have access to market-leading, long-standing expertise in every situation.

Our clear focus is on projects within the framework of job security, addressing the associated challenges of co-determination and the high density of regulations.

Supporting Employees Through Change

We handle emotions professionally among managers, co-determination bodies and those affected. So far, we have achieved acceptance from all sides in all projects.

We clarify and strengthen the role of HR in relation to other forces within the company, especially the business. Who is responsible for which tasks? What are the mutual expectations?

The focus is on our actual clients: the affected employees! Unfortunately, they tend to fall out of focus in traditional project architectures due to their individuality, needs, expectations, hopes and fears. Consequently, communication, tools and timeframes often fail to reach employees. However, employee acceptance is the most important factor, especially in voluntary programmes!

A Shared Vision with Alixio Group

  • Our openness: We are equal sparring partners for management and multipliers.
  • Our ’empowerment’ approach: Managers are the linchpin of communication with employees. Many managers either lack the skills to publicise voluntary separations and address them in a sustainable manner, or they reject this task due to a lack of identification with it. We clarify the role of the manager and demonstrate which leadership principles are necessary during the restructuring phase. Moderated peer groups also ensure constant evolution in learning and action.
  • Our approach to shared responsibility: We build close partnerships with our customers and share responsibility. We reflect on current issues and possible solutions together, on an equal footing, and break new ground with the relevant people in companies.
  • The principle of solution priority: We think in terms of solutions first — or, put simply: What can help in the current situation? We ensure a clear separation between independent, neutral consultancy and product implementation. If we identify any conflicts of interest, we address them.
  • Our innovative strength: We are continuously developing our consulting formats. We are active participants in labour market and employment policy and are eager to influence these areas. We are currently testing new, legally compliant and resilient pension transition models.10 k is well-established and has enjoyed long-term success in the market – a feat made possible by our innovative strength. We are a proven partner for our customers, offering long-term potential and very low risk.
  • Last but not least, we and our team derive great pleasure from our work, and we approach it with passion and commitment. We believe that this passion is evident.
