The Viridian HR team stepped in at a particularly sensitive time for our French subsidiary, with the sudden departure of the France HR Manager and a change of payroll provider. During this transition period, they did their utmost not only to take charge of all the day-to-day HR issues for the teams based in France, but also to liaise with the head office in the UK on various projects, and above all to finalise the implementation of the new payroll provider. When I joined Trainline to take over responsibility for HR in France, I didn’t find the situation chaotic, thanks to the professionalism of the Viridian HR team, and Baptiste in particular. Thanks to him, I was able to take up my new role very smoothly.

Very satisfied with their services, their responsiveness, and their expertise, we asked Baptiste from Viridian HR to continue to look after payroll for the European offices and to help improve processes with our new payroll service provider. We’re delighted to be working so closely with him, and with such confidence.

Quartix Ltd have found Viridian HR to be of great assistance to us as we’ve expanded our French-based workforce over the last two years. Some of the main points of assistance, and tasks that we have worked on together, include the production of employment contracts, payroll enquiries, and more recently with our setting up of the company CSE and any French-specific Health and Safety requirements. It is reassuring to know we have a 3^rd party that can provide impartial advice on any French legal issues that are different to how HR is run in the UK. We have found the team to be quick in their responses regarding all French related enquiries, and all advice received is not only concise, but also practical, with clear next steps and actions we should be taking. In addition, their monthly online training sessions are very useful and informative as we develop our knowledge of French HR across our teams.

Baptiste from Viridian HR has given us legal advice regarding exiting employees in France on a couple of occasions.  He explained the process that each option would take and also reached out to solicitors on our behalf to gain further support when required, which has helped us to make informed decisions.

 His communication throughout helping us has been regular and consistent.  His help and advice has been a big assistance in navigating the complexities of French employment law when exiting employees and ensuring that we are fully compliant with all legal requirements. I highly recommend Viridian HR for their excellent service and will use them again in the future.

We needed some general assistance in the day to day running of our team in France – assisting with smaller enquiries, to larger and more complex issues. Viridian HR has seamlessly delivered on every requirement. Questions on local employment law are always answered quickly and concisely. When more complex projects have occurred, Viridian HR are timely and professional, and patient in explaining each stage of the process. It has been a real relief to work with a team that are not only experts in their field, but are incredibly patient and approachable with anything we need assistance with.

Viridian HR Ltd have been a great support to Keelings International working with our French business, providing general human resource support, practical advice, and knowledge. They are very responsive to our requirements understanding our wider business and advising on how to align our needs whilst ensuring we meet our local labour and employment legislation requirements.

Viridian HR is an invaluable partner for us – combining deep expert knowledge alongside business acumen, they provide tangible and practical advice even on the most complex activities for our clients, and always work with openness and transparency which is so valuable in a partner. The team are responsive, proactive and provide a fantastic service at every step.

The Viridian HR team have been a huge support to Oxford Immunotec (now Revvity); they have given practical and realistic advice and are always on hand to help with all day-to-day French HR queries. We have our Occupational Health managed by Viridian HR too which is now a quick and efficient process. We couldn’t fault the support that has been given by the Viridian HR team to date and would recommend their services to anyone who is in need of French HR expertise!

My experience with Viridian is one of efficient, precise feedback delivered within the requested deadlines, with constant availability for both minor and major questions.

We searched extensively to find the right support for our French subsidiary in Paris. Viridian HR were the only consultancy that could offer exactly what we needed. Karine has helped us navigate the tricky French employment law landscape, ensuring we have everything we need in place. The service and Karine’s expertise in this area has been invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend Viridian HR.

The team at Viridian HR are a real breath of fresh air. They provide swift, comprehensive and user-friendly advice and support on all aspects of having an employee in France. Their help is invaluable, and we are extremely relieved to have found such a company to work with.

Karine is the perfect blend of efficiency, intelligence and professionalism without losing sight of the softer aspect of dealing with and developing people. She is very approachable and committed, with great attention to detail and the drive to succeed. Definitely an asset to any organisation that will use her services. 

We have benefited from the help and professional services of Viridian HR for a change project impacting our whole organisation. Karine and her team took the time to understand our business and the issues that we faced. The project was professionally delivered within our timelines and taking into account our limited capacity.  They understood our challenges and were able to propose pragmatic solutions to our business needs.
