Back to original languageAbout Sophie
Part-time HR Director for SMEs and associations in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, I handle all HR matters: personnel administration, training and manager support, as well as situations requiring specialized expertise (disciplinary actions, litigation, tense social relations). With over 20 years of operational HR experience (multi-site, restructuring, collective bargaining), I support leaders who lack the time or internal resources to manage these issues alone. I prioritize proximity and responsiveness: I understand the ground reality and the specific needs of small and medium-sized structures.
