For HR professionals and business leaders worldwide, complying with global employment law is a high-stakes process. In countries where you have employees, misunderstandings and misapplications of local legislation can result in hefty fines and reputational damage, impacting your operational efficiency and growth.
Unfortunately, navigating through the changes and complexities of each country’s regulations is daunting, requiring a significant investment of time, resources, and expertise.
To overcome these compliance barriers, businesses previously had two choices: assemble an expensive in-house team, or outsource to costly third-party providers. But these options come with their own challenges, such as a steep learning curve, resource allocation issues, and slow adaptation to legal changes.
This is why we’re thrilled to introduce Remote Watchtower, a new solution that meets these challenges head-on. Our mission is to simplify global employment law compliance, making it easy, fast, and cost-effective for companies to manage their international workforce compliantly.
Remote Watchtower is a comprehensive compliance safeguard that is integrated into our products.
When an employment law changes in a particular country, Remote Watchtower embeds this change into your HR processes in collaboration with our Product, Lifecycle, and Customer Experience teams. This ensures that your operations remain compliant without any additional effort on your part.

…and much, much more. We combine our internal expertise with industry-leading research tools to ensure a total breadth of coverage, which means your business stays ahead of the curve — no matter where your employees are based.
