From the initial idea to Human Relevance

What began as a new chapter in 2022 is today an experienced team of experts with profound market experience. Throughout our journey, we have always remained true to the principle that HR must be consistently approached from a business perspective to create sustainable growth.

July 1, 2023

We are forming our first strategic HR tech partnerships to optimize our clients' systems in an even more targeted way.

2026

After four successful and formative years under the torq.partners umbrella, we are taking the next logical step in our growth: spinning off as an independent entity, Friday/Poppins, to further develop our specialized offerings – while remaining closely connected to the partner network.

Why our name is Friday/Poppins

Our name combines two fundamental promises to our clients. Friday represents the feeling we create for our clients: stable structures mean you can head into the weekend with peace of mind. Poppins embodies our ability to transform chaos into order. Competent, structured, and with a touch of lightness, just like Mary Poppins.

Two worlds united: deep expertise in HR and HR Tech

Sustainable structures are created where IT precision meets a deep understanding of people and processes. We combine HR expertise – from legally compliant policies and preparatory payroll to Target Operating Models – with deep IT system expertise in software configurations, interfaces, and data structures. This allows us to create tailored solutions that operationally streamline your daily HR tasks and function long-term.

Highest standards for sensitive HR structures

HR departments process a company's most sensitive information – from salary structures to personal employee data. That's why we make no compromises on data protection and process quality.

Our working methods and systems are officially ISO 27001 certified. This assures you that we adhere to the strictest international standards, minimize risks, and handle your data in a completely legally compliant and protected manner.

A 100% agnostic approach

Despite working closely with leading tool manufacturers in the industry and knowing their systems inside out, we remain strictly independent. Our consulting adheres to a consistently agnostic principle when it comes to our partners – focusing exclusively on client satisfaction. We only recommend, evaluate, and implement tech solutions that precisely match your individual requirements. Our sole quality criterion is the long-term satisfaction and operational effectiveness of your team.
