The cost of an ineffective HR strategy
Without a structured HR approach, small and medium-sized businesses struggle with high turnover and low engagement. Missing a well-defined HR strategy can make retaining talented employees feel like an endless challenge.
Companies without strong HR practices see up to a 50% higher turnover, leading to continuous costs in hiring and training new staff.
Studies show that businesses lacking a structured HR approach experience a 20% drop in employee engagement, impacting productivity and morale.
High turnover and disengaged teams can cause companies to lose up to 30% of their growth potential as management resources are stretched thin.

What our clients say
Real results from businesses that transformed their HR with Tangram
“As an expert in Human Resources with extensive and proven experience, Cecile has demonstrated exceptional skill in identifying and attracting the right talent, facing challenges of complex positions, high demands, and tight budgets.
In addition to her expertise in recruitment, she has been instrumental in transforming our company's working model. After a series of in-depth interviews and a meticulous analysis of our sector, she helped us choose and implement a new operational model and employee evaluation system that has significantly improved our efficiency and job satisfaction.
Always available and willing to help, offering solutions and constant support. I highly recommend Cecile Umaña for her dedication, professionalism, and the tangible results she has brought to our company.”
“Working with Cecile was one of the most enriching professional experiences of my career. Her ability to connect strategy, culture and people is truly exceptional. In moments of high organizational complexity, Cecile always brought clarity, direction and a deeply human vision, becoming a reference point for all of us who collaborated with her.
Her leadership combines impeccable technical solidity with a sensitivity that is rare in the corporate world: active listening, intention, and an authenticity that raises the standard of any team. Cecile doesn't just guide; she transforms. Her influence left a lasting mark on my way of leading and on how I understand the strategic role of Human Resources.
Without a doubt, I would work with her again in any context — for her professionalism, her character and the enormous ability she has to inspire those around her.”
“Cecile is an excellent and strategic HR Director, a fabulous leader who knows how to add value to the Company and internal customers. It was a pleasure to work with her.”
“Cecile has remarkable skills, not only functional and technical HR skills, but also business acumen, coaching and advisory skills that allowed her to become one of our top business partners in our new site. I trust Cecile's point of view and advice. I would be honored to work with Cecile again.”
“I highly recommend Cecile. I worked with her for over 3 years and then she became a vendor for our business. One of Cecile's strengths is that she has the ability to look at things as a HR leader from the business side as well as the employee side. It's unusual to have a HR Professional do this.
Cecile became my truth teller and helped me develop as a leader. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her help and constant drive for success.”
