Deep HR expertise from many years of in-house experience

Visions are great, but they require consistent execution. We bridge the gap between strategic objectives and operational practice. We see ourselves as doers by your side, creating real substance beyond mere slide decks. This way, your HR becomes scalable, data-driven, and an effective part of the company – not just an administrative apparatus in the background. We put people back at the center and transform HR into "Human Relevance."

Christoph Richter

COO

"Da ich kein Team hatte, das mir bei der Bewertung und Implementierung skalierbarerer Lösungen helfen konnte, wandte ich mich an Friday/Poopins, um die Unterstützung zu erhalten, die ich für die Bewertung, Auswahl und Implementierung eines neuen HRIS, ATS und People Enablement benötigte. Jetzt sind wir bereit für die nächste Wachstumsphase."

FAQ

What exactly does Friday/Poppins do?

We are an HR consultancy with a clear focus on People Ops and HR Tech. We eliminate administrative chaos, optimize inefficient processes, and enhance data quality within your HR organization. As vendor-independent experts, we guide you in selecting and implementing the right tools. In case of resource shortages, we also provide operational support through On-Demand and Interim HR Management (HR-as-a-Service).

What distinguishes us from traditional consultancies or freelancers?

While freelancers often act purely as capacity and large consultancies usually leave behind theoretical concepts, we focus on sustainable enabling. Our goal is only achieved when you feel ready at the end of the project to successfully continue without us. We don't disappear after the presentation,  but stay until the processes work in daily operations. We offer you an entire team with diverse specializations and seniorities that is immediately scalable.

What added value does Friday/Poppins offer my management?

We break through communication bottlenecks between management and HR. By resolving administrative roadblocks and translating HR topics into measurable business KPIs, we make the value of your work visible at the C-level table. We create a reliable data foundation for business decisions and ensure alignment with shared growth objectives. This creates the space you need for an effective people strategy.

How much does it cost to work with Friday/Poppins?

Since every organization faces unique challenges, we do not offer rigid flat rates. Our support is modular. You flexibly decide what support you need, whether it's specific training or the complete takeover of system configurations. In a non-binding initial consultation, we determine your exact needs and create a transparent, customized offer.

Do you work as partners of specific software providers or are you independent?

We are 100 percent vendor-independent and operate with complete neutrality. While we know all relevant tools on the market and work closely with leading providers, our sole selection criterion is the actual benefit for your growth. We partner with you from within, without creating artificial dependencies.

How secure is my data with you, and are you certified?

Protecting your highly sensitive HR data is our top priority. Friday/Poppins is officially ISO 27001 certified, guaranteeing strict standards for information security. With every tool audit, implementation, and process optimization, we ensure full compliance with all current data protection regulations and the GDPR.

How does a project with Friday/Poppins work?

Our collaboration follows three clear, practical steps. First, we listen carefully and impartially analyze your existing setup. Based on this, we jointly develop a customized roadmap and actively support your team in making strategic decisions. In the final step, we get hands-on with the implementation: We configure systems, document processes, and empower your employees to ensure everything runs smoothly in daily operations, even without our direct involvement.
