What HUMAN INSIDE s.r.o. does

HUMAN INSIDE s.r.o. is a Slovak HR consulting firm founded in 2010 by Erika Matwij, headquartered in Bratislava with a registered base in Kvetoslavov. The firm operates a hybrid segment model serving family businesses, corporate enterprises, middle/senior managers, and HR professionals across Slovakia, with cross-border delivery capability in Czech, Hungarian, Polish, and English. Its service portfolio spans four pillars: HR Strategy Consulting (organizational structure, culture, performance management, talent management, succession planning, benefits, HR marketing), Training & Education for HR professionals, Audits (personnel audits, Development/Assessment Centers, psychodiagnostics), and Management Training Programs (situational leadership, communication, conflict resolution, resilience, critical thinking).

Delivery is built on established consulting and coaching methodologies rather than proprietary software: the Virginia Satir Model (with ties to the Institute of Virginia Satirovej), the GROW coaching framework, LEGO Serious Play facilitation, and Assessment/Development Center diagnostics. A core team of approximately 5 (including the founder, an Executive Manager, and a Project Manager) is augmented by a network of 20+ collaborating expert trainers, consultants, and coaches, enabling multi-language delivery and scalable workshop execution.

Commercially the firm runs a B2B professional-services model with quote-based, custom engagement pricing (multi-year contract cadence possible). Customer logos include Foxconn, OMV, Telekom, Jungheinrich, Raiffeisen Bank International (training academy for ~4,000 IT staff across 11 countries), Deloitte, Tatra banka, US Steel, Volkswagen, Huawei, ČSOB Poisťovňa, Citadelo, Bio G, and others across banking, manufacturing, IT, retail, telecom, energy, consulting, and pharmaceuticals. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales into leadership and HR departments; in 2024 the firm executed a strategic restart with a new website, refreshed strategy, and updated training catalog.
