Management Centre Europe (MCE), known for its international management development programmes, and MCE Belgium, which specialises in energy contract management, partnered with mselect to facilitate their market entry into Lebanon.
This case study demonstrates how mselect successfully provided integrated business services to facilitate this outcome, while reducing their expected operational and staffing costs.
The Challenge: Building Effective Teams in a New Territory
Entering a new territory to expand your opportunities can be a complex and costly task. You need to learn how businesses operate in a compliant manner very quickly.
One of the biggest operational challenges you will face is managing your workforce, including understanding how to recruit, outsource, and retain talent effectively, given the cultural and legal differences that exist.
MCE and MCE Belgium recognised that partnering with mselect would reduce operational and staffing costs, while streamlining talent sourcing and compliance across all aspects of their workforce.
Our Approach: End-to-End Integrated Business Services for International Operations
Having operated in the region for some time, we have built a strong on-the-ground team that appreciates the nuances of compliance and people. We have a strong bank of candidates and an efficient approach to providing integrated business services.
Our project scope was to provide:
Recruitment for the Lebanon-based team
Workforce outsourcing, including payroll processing, social security, and personal income tax management
Provision of staff insurance
And procurement (through our business services), including office rental and management, plus supply of electronics and hardware
Delivering Workforce and Business Services that Expedite Market Entry
Since the start of our contract with MCE and MCE Belgium, we have been able to provide top talent to cover all areas of their Lebanon recruitment push. Alongside this, we were able to set up HR systems to manage payroll, social security, staff insurance and further workforce outsourcing where required.
While the Lebanon MCE team was being assembled, we procured ideal office rental spaces and equipment, ensuring all staff had the necessary means and space to start work on their first day.
All aspects of the original contract were fulfilled by mselect on time and on budget.
Since the initial contract completion, we have continued to offer services to MCE and MCE Belgium in the region.
