Our Principles

We look beneath the
surface.

Our business coaching services are guided by a shared set of principles.

Challenge On

We don’t take anything at face value because we know that at most times there is more that lies beneath the surface. We seek to understand by asking the tough questions that ultimately lead to the important truths.

Think Ahead

We embrace the vision of companies and think ahead to build teams able and ready for what’s to come. We use our expertise to spot trends and anticipate the skills that will empower talent in the future.

Build Resilience

Like in life, the world of business is full of challenges and hurdles to surmount. We strive to build strong and adaptable teams, with the mental conviction to keep going despite what lies ahead.

From the Field

Proof in practice.

"We would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Mdina Partners to any organisation starting a job evaluation or pay transparency project."

Frederick Schembri, General Manager, Torrent Pharma (Malta) Ltd

Advisory | Job Evaluation

Using job evaluation to support fairness and transparency

Torrent Pharma Malta wanted to prepare well in advance of the upcoming EU Pay Transparency Directive and ensure it had the right foundations in place before the legislation came into effect.

Working with Mdina Partners, the organisation undertook a structured job evaluation process that provided greater clarity around roles, grading, and organisational structure. The process helped strengthen confidence in existing practices while creating a clear framework for future transparency and consistency.

"I would definitely endorse the job evaluation process. It brings clarity and encourages line managers to be more involved in building a strong structure based on fairness and merit."
