Häusermann Taskmanagement AG only takes on mandates for which the necessary skills, experience and staff can be provided. We look for solutions that take optimum advantage of the latest scientific knowledge, developments in the business sector and the needs of the client. We make every effort to continuously improve our knowledge, skills and procedure methods, and provide our clients with unrestricted access to the advantages of these improvements.
We only recommend our services if we expect our work to be beneficial to the client. We provide realistic estimates of performance, deadlines and costs and make every effort to adhere to these. Not only do we carry out assessment work or prepare recommendations but also become involved in the implementation of the proposals. We continue working with the client until such time as the latter can carry on the work without our help. We are aware that, in addition to the technical solution, human relations are of great importance. For this reason, we strive for a harmonious working relationship with the client and his employees.
As a fundamental rule, we take personal responsibility for our work and do not accept any limitation of our independence by third parties. We provide unprejudiced and objective advice and also talk openly concerning unpleasant matters. We do not prepare reports aimed purely at pleasing and are neutral when selecting third-party service providers. We guarantee personal integrity.
We treat all internal procedures and information of the client as strictly confidential. In particular, mandate-related documents are not forwarded to third parties.
