Koncerndirektør HrCoop Danmark Sep 2014 - Sep 2016Albertslund, 2620, DkI was part of the executive management team of Coop, the largest retailer in Denmark with a turnover of 50 billion kroner per year. Coop is a cooperative owned by the customers with 1.200 stores in the country employing more than 40.000 co-workers. My main responsibility was HR and we worked with 5 banners around talent management, succession planning and other main HR processes. HR operations were run in a HR Service Centre with outsourced business processes such as Payroll. Each banner had their own HR business partner team, and on a corporate level there was an Expertise Centre setup. The main focus was getting basics deliveries in place and to start measuring HR with a KPI dash board. The main achievement in the assigment was orchestrating a clean-up of 3 projects that had problems: an SAP/Success Factor implementation, a business process outsourcing project, and an internal movement of payroll from Finance to HR. After 14 months, we had cleaned up the processes, introduced a proper control catalogue internally, and with the supplier, created a new contract and Service Level Agreement. This gave space and time for the stores to meet the customer instead of focusing on HR processes and handling problems due to broken processes.Secondly we restructered HR and made a business partner setup with HR closer to the business and with clear governance and processes through out HR which led to a much higher co-worker satisfaction. -
