CONSULTING
Consulting Services for sector
GSE consulting is available for a wide range of areas.
However, the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (SCDDA) presents special challenges for risk management in your company, which is why GSE offers its services particularly in this area.
The SCDDA obliges companies to check their supply chain for possible violations of human rights, labour rights and environmental standards.
Transparent and responsible behaviour, ethical and sustainable principles must be demonstrated, otherwise fines may be imposed.
The company's own ability to deliver must be ensured. This requires a legally compliant ability to deliver on the part of direct suppliers from 1 January 2024 at the latest.
Demonstrating fairness and moral responsibility in your supply chain also will improve your image: investors, customers and consumers are paying more attention to sustainability and transparency. Compliance with regulations creates trust among them and other interest groups.
We are able to provide you with consultants with industry and country experience especially for the topic of supply chain due diligence act. Our consultants will empower your suppliers so that they will meet the requirements of supply chain diligence.
Our Experts have acquired extensive cross-cultural competence required for SCDDA projects through their assignments abroad. They act on the basis of their own experience. The successes of assignments abroad are characterised by a quick taking-charge, in-depth understanding and smooth integration into a wide range of environments in terms of work, mentality and culture.

Successful support to professionals
Integration mentoring – a feel-good element for your professionals
Attracting qualified professionals from abroad is one of the key challenges for Germany as a business location. All industries are faced with the major task of recruiting and retaining foreign professionals. This requires a strong welcoming culture and well-organised support. We contribute to both with GSE.
Did you recruit professionals from abroad to your company? Do you want to ensure that this investment pays off?
Our mentors help immigrant professionals to settle into their new place of residence and work and thus contribute to their successful integration. Support is provided on a case-by-case basis - for example with everyday issues, finding contacts and overcoming professional or personal problems. Completely individualised and tailored to your needs.

'The assignment of the senior expert couple Dr and Mrs Tüschen was the most important integration aid in everyday life in Germany for our clients, young doctors from India. After all, while the recruitment of international specialists is usually only focussed on the professional benefits for all those involved, human integration - both in the professional and private environment - is the decisive factor for intercultural life skills and thus long-term satisfaction.'

As an international company, we are happy to take on skilled workers from abroad to strengthen our team in various positions. We now have a good overview of the official and legal criteria associated with such immigration processes. Now, thanks to the support of SES, we can also offer our new employees contact with experienced contacts outside the company. This gives us as a company the reassuring feeling of knowing that our employees are well looked after and is highly valued by the new employees. The trusting exchange can significantly accelerate and facilitate the familiarisation with an initially foreign culture. There are some things that you may consciously prefer to discuss with a trusted person outside the working environment rather than with your colleagues.
We were lucky enough to be able to recruit Mr Ulrich Dalkmann, an incredibly committed and warm-hearted senior expert, whose support ultimately did not come across as a mere service, but rather as a friendly relationship. Through many connections in the private sphere, this support has also made many practical things easier for our new employee in everyday life. We are very grateful to Mr Dalkmann and SES and look forward to continuing our collaboration.
