A complete HR function
When ByggVesta chose to outsource its HR function to Sweden HR Group, the objective was clear: to gain access to a complete HR function without having to build it internally. Through our team-based way of working, the organization benefits from both strategic HR expertise close to the management team and efficient operational support in day-to-day HR activities.
Background
The assignment with ByggVesta began in 2023. The company was growing, and at the same time the need for structure, compliance, and strategic HR work increased. There was also a desire for flexibility and access to broad HR expertise—without having to build a full HR function internally.
Assignment
Sweden HR Group was tasked with taking overall responsibility for HR through outsourcing, with a focus on both strategic and operational work, tailored to ByggVesta’s needs and stage of development.
Solution – HR outsourcing
Through HR outsourcing, ByggVesta gains access to the right HR expertise based on the organization’s current needs. This setup creates a flexibility that is often difficult to achieve in a traditional employment model, where support can easily be scaled up during more intensive periods and scaled down when the need decreases.
For ByggVesta this means, among other things, that:
- Strategic HR expertise is closely integrated with the management team, providing support in areas such as organizational development, leadership, employment law decisions, and long-term talent supply.
- Operational HR tasks are handled in parallel, including personnel administration, employment law matters, policy development, day-to-day support for managers, and ongoing HR processes.
- Support with payroll coordination.
- Multiple HR consultants can work simultaneously on different matters, ensuring quality and continuity.
- The work is scalable and continuously adapted to the organization’s needs.
The team at Sweden HR Group consists of both operational and strategic HR resources who together ensure that the right expertise is applied to the right task—giving ByggVesta access to the full functionality of an in‑house HR department.
– The setup provides the client with a complete HR function. We can work strategically with the management team while simultaneously handling operational matters on an ongoing basis, says Sara Schillström, HR consultant at Sweden HR Group.
Results
Through the collaboration with Sweden HR Group, ByggVesta has:
- Gained access to a complete and professional HR function
- Ensured both strategic and operational HR support – simultaneously
- Relieved management and leaders in their day-to-day HR work
- Created structure, quality, and confidence in HR processes
– ByggVesta has also made significant progress in their eNPS by focusing on values and the work environment. This is a collective effort where management, leaders, and employees have done an outstanding job together. ByggVesta has also been nominated for the Brilliant Awards for this achievement. It makes us proud to work with a company like ByggVesta, says Gabriella Karlsson, HR Consultant at Sweden HR Group.
Current Status
The collaboration continues on an ongoing basis, with Sweden HR Group acting as ByggVesta’s external HR function and strategic HR partner.
I am very satisfied with the collaboration with Sweden HR Group. Particularly on the administrative side, the delivery has been exceptionally strong – we have had invaluable support in Sara, who is a fantastic resource and a real strength in our daily work, says Susanna Linné, COO at ByggVesta.
– On the more senior side, the delivery has varied somewhat over time, largely due to having had several different consultants over the past few years. At the same time, I would like to highlight that the overall impression remains positive.
– Since Gabriella joined the assignment, the collaboration has taken further steps forward, today I experience that we have a very strong and well-functioning HR partner. I have a reliable and valuable sparring partner in Gabriella, who shows a genuine commitment to our business. She is proactive, raises relevant issues, and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks. There is a level of independence in the delivery that allows me to feel full confidence that we have the right structures, routines, and processes in place – not least when it comes to compliance.
“The most valuable aspect is the holistic solution—the ability to receive qualified support regardless of the nature or complexity of the issue. The combination of operational support and strategic expertise provides us with a complete HR function, something that would be difficult to build internally on our own.”

What made you choose Sweden HR Group as a partner?
I first came into contact with Sweden HR Group when I met their then CEO about six years ago. Early on, I developed a strong trust in both their expertise and their way of working, which led me to bring them in as a partner at my previous employer. Since then, I have continued the collaboration, even after changing employers, which says a lot about the level of trust I have in their delivery.
What do you consider most valuable about the collaboration?
The most valuable aspect is the comprehensive solution – being able to receive qualified support regardless of the nature or complexity of the issue. The combination of operational support and strategic perspective provides us with a complete HR function that is difficult to build internally on our own.
