Case Study: HVDS builds a scalable people strategy with People Puzzles

HVDS cuts payroll processing from several days to less than half a day with People Puzzles

HVDS, a specialist provider of clean air and filtration services to the food manufacturing industry, faced challenges in sustaining its informal people practices as the business expanded. Managing Director Mark Stevens initially sought the vendor People Puzzles for a fractional People Director service to ensure legal compliance and establish HR foundations fit for purpose.

Working as a fractional People Director, People Puzzles provided strategic and practical support that evolved from ensuring compliance to building a scalable organization. The solution included redesigned employment contracts, clear performance frameworks, and strategic organizational design. This partnership resulted in measurable impacts such as cutting payroll processing time from several days to under half a day and provided the strong commercial acumen needed to prepare HVDS for future growth.
