This mid-sized personal care company has been a trailblazer in its industry since its founding. Over the past five years, it has experienced remarkable growth, driven by shifts in consumer behavior and evolving market dynamics. Despite this momentum, the company has maintained a lean approach to staffing.

In preparation for this growth, leadership recognized the need to reassess its organizational structure and workforce strategy. To support this effort, the company partnered with Clarkston to conduct a comprehensive organizational staffing assessment.

This was complemented by independent research and insights from internal experts, allowing the team to develop a well-rounded view of how each department should evolve.
With benchmarking data and interview findings in hand, Clarkston conducted a thorough analysis—comparing the company’s current organizational state with industry standards while taking into account the unique qualities of the business.
The engagement concluded with actionable recommendations at both the enterprise and departmental levels. Clarkston outlined priority areas for optimization to ensure resources are strategically deployed for maximum impact. Pleased with the outcomes, the client has chosen to continue its collaboration with Clarkston as it enters this exciting phase of growth.
