Focus on effectiveness and efficiency
When we talk about organization, it really comes down to one thing: people! As specialized headhunters for the printing and packaging industry, we find the specialists and executives who are a good fit for your company culture. We help your organization grow, expand your team’s knowledge and skills, and foster leadership.
Search for personnel
Recruiting and executive search—specifically, the search for the right talent—is a strategic priority in the printing and packaging industry. As specialized headhunters, we find the professionals and executives who are the right fit for your company, both professionally and personally.
Initial situation
The shortage of skilled workers has long been a barrier to growth in our industry. Traditional job postings are often no longer sufficient to fill key positions in production, sales, or management.
Our Expertise
This is where we come in as industry insiders. Thanks to our decades-long network in the printing industry, we know where the talent is and can approach them discreetly and strategically. We don’t just conduct superficial interviews; we assess candidates for their suitability for the specific requirements of your business—whether in packaging printing, label production, or commercial printing. Our executive search process is characterized by a high degree of discretion and speed. We understand both the language of printers and the requirements of management. This enables us to attract candidates to your company who are out of reach for conventional recruiters. We guide you through the entire selection process up to the signing of the contract and, if needed, also support the onboarding process. For us, recruiting doesn’t end with the placement; we want to ensure that new employees contribute to the company’s long-term success. With GC by your side, you won’t just fill vacancies any old way, but with individuals who enrich your organization and actively help shape its transformation.
Initial situation
Even the best strategies and change initiatives are useless if the workforce doesn’t support them. For us, change management isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s the key to success in every consulting project. We know that change often triggers fears and resistance—whether it’s a merger (M&A), the introduction of new software, or a restructuring.
Our Expertise
We help you design processes and structures within your company to make them more efficient. To do this, we rely on change management and develop communication strategies that create transparency and “bring employees along” rather than steamrolling them. We identify the key influencers within your organization who can support the change as ambassadors and work specifically with the skeptics. Our goal is to keep the emotional curve of change as flat as possible so that productivity does not plummet during the implementation of organizational changes. We facilitate workshops, guide feedback sessions, and ensure that successes are visibly celebrated. For us, change management means giving people a sense of security in the face of uncertainty. We embed the new ways of working deeply within the organization so that it does not revert to old patterns after our engagement. With GC, change is experienced not as a threat, but as an opportunity for personal and organizational growth. This is how we ensure that changes have a lasting impact.
Initial situation
The world’s knowledge now doubles every few years. In this respect, learning is a lifelong process, and standing still in a technology-driven industry like the printing industry is fatal.
Our Expertise
That is why we have developed an academy concept that goes far beyond traditional knowledge transfer. We provide targeted coaching to individuals and entire teams in the skills they need to perform their tasks. Whether it involves sales professionalization, technical process knowledge, or methodological expertise—our academy provides the framework for genuine growth. We rely on a mix of on-the-job training, workshops, and individual coaching. The focus is always on the individual’s goals within the context of the company’s success. We help your employees fully realize their potential and take on responsibility. Our experienced consultants act as mentors, directly passing on practical knowledge gained from many years of consulting experience. The academy concept is also a powerful tool for your employer branding: employees who feel valued and supported develop a stronger bond with the company. We regularly evaluate learning outcomes to ensure that the training directly leads to better results in day-to-day work. This is how we prepare your team for tomorrow’s challenges and secure a knowledge advantage that competitors cannot easily replicate. With the GC Academy, you invest directly in your company’s most important resource: the expertise of your people.
Initial situation
In times of change, corporate and employee leadership is a key competitive factor. For example, talented employees will quickly leave a company if they don’t feel comfortable with its culture or leadership style. This reduces the organization’s performance and, ultimately, its bottom line. And that is just one of many consequences.
Our Expertise
We help you establish an authentic leadership culture. Our leadership training programs are not standard, off-the-shelf seminars. We take a practical approach to the real challenges of your daily work in the pressroom or in administration. We develop your leaders so they can inspire employees and align them toward a shared goal through vision and values. At the same time, we support you in developing your organizational culture. Culture is your company’s “operating system”—it defines who you are, how you act, and how you are perceived. We make the unwritten rules in your organization visible and work together on values that aren’t just displayed on the wall, but are authentic and lived out. Because complex strategies can only be successfully implemented when leaders and employees are pulling in the same direction. We facilitate this process with empathy and the necessary clarity to bring about genuine behavioral change.
