Interim management - Frequently Asked Questions
How could you solve the problem that the interim manager is not an employee but a liable top executive of the company?According to the Hungarian legal regulations the top executives (managing director, CEO, etc.) are not necessarily employed by the company, they can also perform this activity on the basis of the Civil Code. The chief officer has the right to assign the liable executive duties according to his/her decision, not only to someone employed by the company.
How does the interim manager exercise the employer’s rights?
As we can see above, the chief officer has the possibility to hold the manager position within the frame of a civil contract. This legal relationship is independent from the execution of the employer’s rights. The situation is different in the case of other top managers who are employed by the company.
How could I explain my current manager that I do not want to change him/her but to help in learning from the expert?
The manager who actually fills the position probably knows the limit of his/her knowledge. If he/she understands the operation of interim management, he/she will not consider our professionals as an enemy, but as a friend, who makes him/her able to fulfil his/her job on a higher level; such kind of person, whom he/she can learn, and after spending a half – one year together - considering the quality of the work – he/she becomes more precious.
What happens if the expert does not meet the requirements?
We take the responsibility for our expert. Our interim managers are professionals with a wide range of experiences, who are selected with adequate interviews, and are trained regularly. Even so the Client has the right to terminate the contract in case the default fulfilment lies with serious mistakes of our expert. In this situation a replacement is much more comfortable for both parties. Foreign experiences also confirm that this only seldom happens.
What happens if the project is being stopped during the validity of the contract?
This is not an extraordinary phenomenon in business life. For this case we ensure our Clients a short term termination possibility.
Is it possible that an interim manager becomes a permanent employee?
In case of fulfilling certain conditions we not exclude the possibility. Although we have to stress that interim managers live a completely different way of life than employees and for this reason it is very extraordinary for an interim manager to become an employee again.?
How can you ensure that the obtained information not to be transferred to any other companies?
An expert can only becomes an interim manager if he/she accepts the ethical rules of interim management profession, which strictly forbid the direct or indirect misuse of business information. Since the ethical codex is supervised by MIME, the Hungarian Interim Management Association, with the abuse of this codex the interim manager practically excludes himself/herself from the professional’s market, he/she will not receive new assignment. Since we talk about professionals who have a wide range of experience and take care of their business reputation, nobody will take this risk.
How could an interim manager be inserted into the corporate culture?
Corporate cultures are differed from each other. However, our professionals have obtained their experiences with more companies, their adoptive period is by far shorter than young talents’, for whom it frequently takes 1-2 years at their first or second workplace to “learn” the company culture.
