Consultation
The most expensive workforce decisions are not the ones that go wrong during a project. They are the ones that were structured incorrectly before it started.
Engaging the wrong contract type, misclassifying workers under local labour law, failing to account for collective agreement obligations, or underestimating certification lead times, these are the mistakes that create liability, delay projects, and damage relationships with regulators and client organisations alike.
QW Group’s consultation service exists to prevent them. We work with clients upstream of deployment to assess workforce requirements, map the applicable regulatory framework in each operating jurisdiction, and design an engagement structure that is compliant, efficient, and scalable from day one.
Our consultation capability draws on decades of accumulated compliance knowledge across seven European markets. We understand the distinction between the Norwegian PSA’s expectations for offshore contractor management and the German works council’s role in approving temporary staffing engagements.
We know how Sweden’s 24-month assignment rule affects long-term embedded contractor relationships, and how the UK’s IR35 reforms changed the risk profile of contractor engagement across the energy sector. That institutional knowledge, built project by project and market by market, is available to clients as a standalone advisory service.
For operators entering a new geography, scaling a workforce rapidly, or navigating a regulatory change, QW Group’s consultation service is the fastest and most reliable way to get it right from the start.
- Workforce structure assessment and compliance mapping across all seven QW Group operating markets before deployment begins.
- Regulatory navigation support covering Norwegian PSA, German AUG, UK IR35, and Nordic collective agreement frameworks.
- Strategic workforce planning for operators entering new geographies, scaling rapidly, or restructuring existing contractor arrangements.
