HR Consulting in Lebanon: When and Why You Need It
AdvisorLB Team
Small and mid-sized Lebanese companies often outgrow an informal HR setup. A consultant can deliver in weeks what would take a year of internal effort, and brings benchmarking data you don't have.
Common engagements
- Employee handbook: policies on leave, working hours, code of conduct, IT use — all aligned with the Lebanese Labour Law.
- Salary structures and grading: bands, benchmarks, and clear progression paths.
- Performance management: goal-setting frameworks (OKRs, KPIs) and review processes.
- Training plans: identifying skills gaps and designing learning pathways.
- NSSF and payroll compliance: registrations, declarations, end-of-service indemnities.
When to engage one
- You're crossing 20+ employees and feel things slipping.
- You're losing people and don't know why.
- You're entering a regulated sector (banking, healthcare).
- You're preparing for investment or due diligence.
What to ask
- Have they worked with companies your size in your sector?
- Will they deliver templates that your team can maintain afterwards?
- How will they measure success of the engagement?
