International HR leaders are faced with a daunting task when expanding into new global markets. Staying up to date with and maintaining compliance with employment regulations in one location is difficult enough. More so when various states or provinces within the same country are added to the task. And compounded with foreign countries which present completely new challenges with laws, regulations, cultural differences, language barriers, time zones and governing authorities making the task tough to manage even for large teams.

Global Employment Outsourcing – GEO can turn those potential problems into non-issues and make HR leaders look like Superhero’s in the process. Here are 3 ways implementing a GEO solution can convert international expansion roadblocks into superhighways of growth.

1. Speed: The best Global Employment Outsourcing firms can accelerate expansion into new international markets shrinking timelines from months or years down to weeks. That can have significant positive impacts on company profitability and investor speed to ROI. 

2. Risk: Because GEO partners take on the burden of employment for their clients the risk of employing in new markets is mitigated. That’s beneficial in itself and compounded when implemented in new foreign markets where problems extending from the unknowns can be terminable to international expansion. 

3. Flexibility: Not every international expansion is successful and not every country is the right fit for an organization. Global Employment Outsourcing gives Human Resources leaders the flexibility to test new markets without the need for entity setup prior to sampling new markets. That also means there is no foreign entity to dismantle if it’s determined the new market is not a good fit for company.

HR Superheros, saving the day with Speed to Market, Mitigated Risk and Flexibility for their company’s international expansion efforts.
