Maëlle de Harlez

Senior payroll consultant, trainer & data analyst

Passionate about her job

With 17 years of experience in payroll management, this was a great opportunity to combine my passion for payroll administration with my studies in educational psychology and my experience as Lecturer in Payroll & Employment Law. Payroll on the ground is an innovative project that offers payroll consulting services while training and supporting payroll teams, or future payroll officers, with a focus on autonomy and performance. Our added value lies in establishing a structure and sustainable autonomy for your payroll department.

Shaï Gerena

HR consultant

Focus on people

As an HR admin and payroll officer, my primary goal is to find quick and practical solutions, anticipate the unexpected and simplify the daily lives of teams. I am thorough, organised and detail-oriented, but also flexible and attentive, because the human dimension is central to my work. Thanks to my experience in different environments, I have developed a structured and pragmatic approach to HR management that is always results-oriented.

Junior legal assistant

An operational legal perspective

As a legal assistant completing my Master’s degree in Law with a focus on Business Law, I enjoy taking on legal challenges in the business world, an environment that is constantly evolving in response to new economic, technological and societal developments. My goal is to provide businesses with up-to-date, practical legal insights to help them ensure compliance with their legal obligations. Attentive, organised, motivated and thorough, I place reliability and teamwork at the heart of my approach.
