“Based on the benchmarking results and recommendations of the PricewaterhouseCoopers implementation team, we made changes in the organizational structure and made processes more effective. The knowledge we gained, the method of evaluating the performance of human resources in accordance with the Saratoga project, and changes made in the follow-ing years were extremely beneficial for the prompt and smooth incorporation of Matador a.s. Púchov into the international Continental Group in 2008.”

“In 2008, a very important Strategy Revision Project was running in our company. We chose PricewaterhouseCoopers for their individual approach, which respected our demands and was clearly oriented towards measurable results. We could rely on consultants also during internal top management meetings because of their independent attitude and professional view resulting from experience gained in similar projects. We were also more than satisfied with their approach and ser-vices because of their flexibility and active communication, which helped us meet the deadlines of the entire project ac-cording to the timetable. Last, but not least, the possibility to use the benchmarking data thanks to their know-how shared at the international level was also of great benefit to us.”

“Thanks to the professional experience of the consultants, we succeeded in achieving a high rate of return of completed questionnaires and getting valuable feedback from our employees. After accomplishing the survey, the PwC project team prepared a well-arranged final report for us, in which the results achieved were interpreted and communicated to the HR Department and the top management as well. The advantage of our mutual co-operation was the comparability of results with the market and within the given sector.”

“We collaborated with PricewaterhouseCoopers on the project aimed at setting HR processes. After using the Recruitment Process Design and setting up a cost centre for the Recruitment department, the whole process of recruiting staff became more effective. Recommendations from the best-practice area for recruiting activities have made the whole process much more effective and saved us a lot of money. I consider co-operation with PricewaterhouseCoopers in the HR field to be very beneficial, effective, and, in the end, economical.”

“Our goal was to implement a transparent, competitive, and well-arranged remuneration system; and we can say that the experts from PricewaterhouseCoopers succeeded in accomplishing this task to the fullest extent. We certainly expect to co-operate with PricewaterhouseCoopers in the future and utilize the qualities and know-how of its experts.”

“I appreciate the HR Benchmarking study mainly because it factors in local conditions, needs, and the situation on the Slovak market in its outputs. Every year, I look forward to the results, and then search for improvement opportunities.”

“Every year, we use the salary information from the PayWell project when comparing and setting wage and salary levels in our company. I appreciate mainly the analysis of earnings by individual job positions and a well-arranged report on em-ployee benefits provided.”
