About Björn

Work psychologist (Strasbourg) and former HR Director in the metallurgy sector (CIFFOP), I work on the hottest HR issues for SMEs, mid-cap companies, and large corporations:
→ psychosocial risk assessment,
→ internal investigations (harassment, conflicts, alcohol, sensitive situations),
→ organizational assessment,
→ mediation.

🔹 My approach: qualitative AND quantitative, fast, confidential. No dogma, we don't blame employers or unions. I provide actionable diagnostics, not a PDF to file away.

🔹 I typically intervene when:
- A harassment report comes in and an internal investigation needs to be managed (procedure, interviews, report, disciplinary actions)
- Recurring conflicts between departments and unexplained rivalries suggest that the work organization itself is the cause
- One or more repeated and unexplained absences accumulate in a team or department
- A leader wants to know "what's really going on"
- A reorganization creates tensions and the employee representative council (CSE) issues a warning notice
- A sensitive case (alcohol at work, serious interpersonal conflict, post-traumatic situation) requires a neutral third party

🔹 My background: +10 years in various HR and HR consulting roles, including 5 years at Vallourec managing a site, overseeing two social redundancy plans (PSE), redesigning IT organizations internationally, and handling dozens of sensitive HR investigations over the course of my career (moral and sexual harassment, alcohol, psychosocial risks, inter-departmental conflicts, repeated unexplained absences, etc.).

Often disappointed by the quality of interventions, I handled many cases myself as an HR Director and psychologist. Today, I provide a solution to these challenges with FACTOxRH, meeting the quality standards I demanded for myself. (𝗿𝗽𝘀.𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝘅𝗿𝗵.𝗳𝗿)
I am also a certified trainer for Cegos.

Trilingual French / German / English. Based in Annecy, I operate throughout France and in French-speaking Switzerland, both in-person and in hybrid formats.
