The Challenge
When Kovalus Separation Solutions divested from its parent company, it was left without the internal HR infrastructure needed to support its global operations. With teams across multiple countries and complex regulatory environments to navigate, Kovalus faced an urgent need to fill critical HR gaps while maintaining business continuity. Lacking the in-house expertise and resources to manage global compliance and employee support, they needed a trusted partner who could step in quickly, provide strategic guidance, and help them rebuild a scalable HR foundation from the ground up.
The Solution
Global HR
HSP Group provided end-to-end global HR support, helping Kovalus navigate country-specific employment laws, onboard talent across borders, and manage compliance with confidence. This enabled the HR team to operate strategically while ensuring consistency and alignment across all international locations.

By consolidating payroll services, HSP Group streamlined payroll management, reducing the complexity and cost of maintaining separate payroll systems for each country. This ensured timely and accurate payroll processing in compliance with local laws.
Employee Contracts & Benefits
HSP Group managed the creation and standardization of employee contracts, aligning with local labor laws and regulations. We also oversaw the administration of employee benefits, ensuring competitive and compliant offerings across all regions.
