Securing the continuity of a translation team with flexible reinforcement
Tailored support to absorb a long-term career break
In the communication sector, business continuity is a key challenge. Our client, who leads a translation team, contacted us while looking for a solution to a new organisational challenge : one of their experienced team members was about to start a career break as part of a long-term training programme. They therefore needed the best way to maintain the balance of the in-house team over a period of several years.
Challenge
- Provide long-term reinforcement to a translation team during a multi-year career break, without increasing the burden on the in-house team
Solution
- Integration of a medior consultant who is immediately operational into the in-house team, working on-site alongside other team members
Result
- Business continuity ensured, smooth integration into processes, a more agile organisation, and a stable long-term collaboration.

The challenge
Covering a long absence without overloading the in-house team
The client faced a complex situation: reinforcing their translation team for several years, in an uncertain context, without adding structural headcount or creating contractual expectations that would be difficult to meet in the long term.
They needed someone immediately operational, able to integrate quickly, while working within a clear and temporary framework. The stakes were high: ensuring service continuity, protecting managerial workload, and staying agile in response to fluctuations in activity.

Our solution
Integrating a professional into the in-house team for the duration of the absence
DTS designed a tailored solution by selecting a medior translation consultant, combining subject-matter expertise, autonomy, and professional maturity. Thanks to their experience, the consultant was fully operational from day one, without a heavy training phase.
Beyond technical skills, DTS paid particular attention to both human and contractual alignment. The assignment framework was defined clearly from the start, enabling smooth collaboration with no ambiguity.
The implemented solution offers valuable flexibility: working part-time to cover the career break, the consultant can also reinforce the team during peak workloads or unexpected absences, depending on the client’s actual needs.
