Crash course on global HR
What sets global HR apart? What unique challenges come with international employment? Get a short crash course on the core concepts of global HR.
Global HR covers the HR processes used to hire and manage workers internationally — recruitment, onboarding, compensation and benefits, payroll and compliance. Global HR presents distinct challenges (and major new opportunities) for HR teams aiming to scale worldwide.
Global HR asks People teams to manage and pay employees while reducing HR risks tied to local labour laws and regulations. Choosing the right platform is essential to overcome these global HR challenges.
Companies can employ people internationally through an employer of record (EOR) without establishing a local legal entity. An employer of record assumes the legal obligations of hiring and handles taxes, benefits, payroll and compliance on behalf of the company. Alternatively, businesses can use a global HR provider to hire contractors across the globe or for a single project — for example, recruiting in a specific country or managing global payroll.
Top global HR platforms do more than help you pay and manage an international team. Remote’s Global Payroll lets you pay your team in countries where you have a local entity. That means you can manage and pay your whole workforce from a single HR hub, with clear visibility of employment data in one place.
Managing HR globally presents various challenges, but with the right platform and support you can tackle them confidently. Below are some of the main barriers globally distributed teams must address:
Regulatory compliance: Evolving labour and tax laws in each country make it hard for companies to remain compliant with local legislation. A global HR platform like Remote removes that burden, letting your team hire overseas quickly and with confidence.
Developing localised offers: To attract and retain top international talent, companies must put together compensation and benefits packages that are competitive in the local market. That requires understanding salary benchmarks, local candidate expectations and compliance with country-specific rules. Rather than researching benefits and vendors in every market, you can rely on Remote’s curated plans for the countries you want to hire in.
Managing global payroll: Companies must make accurate payroll calculations, work out tax and social security deductions, and handle tax reporting and compliance — which makes payroll complex. Remote Global Payroll is purpose-built to cut admin, manage compliance complexity and reduce payroll errors. Remote removes uncertainty from the process, letting you generate, review and approve payroll for all your legal entities in minutes each month.
Data protection and security: Hiring globally also exposes companies to risks around data protection and their intellectual property and invention rights. Remote’s global HR platform safeguards customer IP and employment data at every stage of the employment lifecycle. Remote IP Guard provides some of the strongest protections in the industry for your intellectual property and invention rights.
Global HRM covers managing a distributed workforce across countries and cultures. This goes beyond traditional HR and accounts for global variations in staffing, training, compensation and benefits, performance management, legal considerations, and HR policies and procedures.
Managing human resources on a global scale is considerably more complex. It requires a deep understanding of local business practices, regulatory frameworks and employment law.
Remote’s global HR platform is the ideal HRM partner for managing distributed teams. You get one simple centralised hub to manage and pay your entire workforce. Remote’s purpose-built global HR platform gives you the guidance you need to manage compliance at every stage of the employment process.
HR management matters even more for globally distributed teams. Companies hiring internationally face very different challenges — managing compliance, reducing risk, and giving all team members a fair experience regardless of where they live.
Reduce costs by streamlining HR processes
Comply with local employment regulations
Recruit and retain global talent
Attract a diverse and inclusive team
Manage worker performance across borders
Establishing your own local legal entity to hire, pay and manage workers in a new country places a heavy demand on time and resources. Remote’s global HR service provides personalised guidance from our team of HR and legal experts throughout your hiring journey.
Key functions of global HRM include:
Hiring, onboarding and managing an international workforce
Designing competitive, compliant compensation and benefits packages
Managing tax deductions and payroll processes
Ensuring compliance with local regulations
Each country’s laws present unique challenges around benefits, taxes, payroll and compliance. A trusted HR partner like Remote can make global HR straightforward by helping you hire global workers with speed, compliance and security.
A global HR manager oversees and coordinates all global HR functions — recruitment, onboarding, compensation and benefits, performance management, payroll and compliance.
They collaborate with local teams across countries to develop HR policies and procedures aligned with local rules and regulations. Some specific tasks of a global HR manager include:
Talent acquisition and management: A global HR manager implements recruitment processes to attract top talent worldwide. This includes developing efficient onboarding and ongoing strategies to support employee communication and engagement.
Benefits and compensation: Offering a robust, localised benefits package is essential to building a world-class team. To find and retain top candidates, a global HR manager must develop an attractive and competitive compensation and benefits package that complies with local labour requirements.
Compliance with global HR policies and labor laws: Each country has its own policies and procedures related to employment, taxes, benefits, payroll and cultural practices to consider. While hiring and paying workers globally, a global HR manager must keep local regulations and global employment standards in mind and ensure compliance to minimise HR-related risks. Protecting data privacy and security is also critical to safeguard the business from legal and financial exposure.
A purpose-built global HR platform like Remote provides HR managers with the full suite of tools and support needed to hire, onboard, pay and manage a global team quickly, safely and compliantly. From talent acquisition and worker management to compensation, benefits and compliance, Remote can support your team at every step of your global expansion journey.
