The BEERG team have worked on employee relations issues with more than 100 major multinational enterprises over the past 20+ years. Today we continue to work with many of same companies that we started working with it in 2002 and most of our business comes from personal referrals.

We provide consultancy services to member and non-member companies in the following areas:
