EU Business News- Benelux Enterprise Awards 2025 Best Client-Centric HR Partner 2025 – Belgium HR consultants are an instrumental figure in the business landscape, serving as trusted partners to businesses seeking to navigate the complexities of human nature. An effective HR partner can shape a company’s culture, performance, and ultimately, its success. Based in Belgium, LD Consult is a company that understands this well – delivering exceptional HR solutions and support to businesses of all shapes and sizes. We heard more from Line Defoin below, Founder and Director of LD Consult, as the consultancy is named in the Benelux Enterprise Awards 2025. Founded in 2017, LD Consult is a HR company dedicated to providing customised support to businesses across sectors. With clients ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to larger organisations, the consultancy is on a mission to align HR practices with its clients’ strategic goals and enable them to thrive by maximising human potential. It achieves this mission through a deeply personalised approach, ensuring that every intervention – whether in strategic planning, skills development, or individual coaching – is uniquely adapted to its client’s context and needs. LD Consult specialises in three core areas: HR strategy, training, and coaching. The consultancy delivers strategic advisory tailored to help organisations structure and professionalise their HR function based on unique cultures and objectives. It offers interactive training programmes across all organisational levels, focusing on management, communication, HR tools, and soft skills. As for coaching, LD Consult provides superior services for career evolution and professional development – ranging from job coaching to executive support. In a crowded market, LD Consult stands out for taking an entirely customised approach to each project it undertakes. No two organisations are alike, each with its own structure, culture, challenges, and strategic priorities. Recognising this, LD Consult deliberately avoids one-size-fitsall solutions, instead designing every intervention from the ground-up and working closely with clients before co-creating solutions that are both practical and meaningful. Recently, LD Consult has seen success in the design and deployment of a comprehensive training programme for a major public sector organisation. The consultancy developed a tailored, interactive training course aligning with the organisation’s internal procedures and values, with the goal of equipping all newly hired employees with a clear understanding of recruitment and selection processes. Due to the large number of individuals to be trained, this is a four-year project that is currently ongoing, with LD Consult working in close collaboration with the client to continuously improve the content and delivery based on participant feedback and evolving needs. Of course, with success comes adversity, and LD Consult has been faced with the challenge of adapting to the rapid emergence and integration of artificial intelligence across human resources practices. AI is reshaping key HR functions, from automating administrative tasks such as CV screening and interview scheduling to enabling advanced people analytics and predictive modelling for talent management. These innovations are transforming how HR supports business strategy and delivers value, sparking a technological evolution that requires a fundamental shift in mindset for HR professionals and organisations alike. “This evolution calls for continuous upskilling, openness to change, and a rethinking of traditional roles and competencies,” Line explained. “At LD Consult HR Services, we see this as an opportunity to help our clients future-proof their HR functions. By integrating digital thinking into strategic HR planning and fostering adaptability across teams, we support our partners in navigating this transition with confidence. It is a pivotal moment for HR to become even more strategic, data-driven, and aligned with organisational transformation.” Looking to the future, LD Consult is seeking to further advance the sector and better support its clientele. The consultancy is developing a concise and focused training programme specifically designed to meet the unique needs of SMEs. From close monitoring, it has observed that many employees in SMEs often oversee HR responsibilities in addition to their primary roles, without having received formal training in this area. What’s more, they typically lack the time and resources to engage in lengthy training courses. To address this emerging pain point, LD Consult has created a practical toolbox that provides immediate access to essential, hands-on resources exactly when they need them. This includes support for key HR tasks, such as recruitment, onboarding, performance evaluations, and managing skills frameworks. The consultancy’s innovative training approach promises to cut through lengthy theoretical explanations and focus directly on the core, actionable elements that truly matter. “For the remainder of 2025 and beyond,” Line concluded, “we plan to continue refining this streamlined training solution, ensuring it remains highly relevant and accessible to SMEs, helping them manage their HR functions effectively and efficiently.” Contact: Line Defoin Company: LD Consult Web Address: www.ld-consult.eu AIM-Jun25216
