About
HR operations designed to work in practice.
Van Esch Advisory focuses on making HR function more cleanly, through clearer processes, stronger ownership, and operating models that hold up as organisations grow.
Most HR challenges are not isolated issues. They are symptoms of how work flows through the organisation.
What this firm is built to do
Turning HR complexity into clearer operating structure.
Many organisations do not need more theory. They need help making HR work more cleanly in practice.
Clarify ownership
So HR work does not sit loosely across teams and decisions are made more consistently.
Strengthen processes
So the basics hold under pressure rather than changing by team or urgency.
Improve service delivery
So HR becomes more predictable, usable, and easier to operate.
Relevant experience
Experience that translates into practical advisory value.
The value of experience is not the title. It is recognising patterns quickly and understanding what will work in practice.
Global HR operations and shared services
Experience leading and improving People Operations and shared services in complex international environments. This includes employee lifecycle operations, service delivery, and day-to-day execution.
HR transformation, process, and governance
Work across operating models, process design, controls, and governance. The focus is on creating clarity and consistency that holds under pressure.
HR technology and workflow design
Improving HR systems and reducing manual work through better workflow design. This includes ServiceNow HR Service Delivery, system integration, and process redesign.
M&A and organisational integration
Operational delivery through acquisitions and integration. This includes due diligence, TUPE-related change, and aligning processes across entities and regions.
Founder
Built on operating experience.
Van Esch Advisory is led by Greg van Esch, an HR Operations and Transformation leader with over 17 years of experience.
His background is in building and running HR operations inside complex organisations. This includes global People Operations, shared services, HR transformation, and operational integration.
The focus is not on theory or generic frameworks. It is on creating operational clarity that works in the context of the business.
What clients should expect
Clear thinking and usable outputs.
