Crash course on global HR
What sets global HR apart? What are the distinct challenges of international employment? Take a short crash course covering the essential concepts of global HR.
Global HR describes the HR activities involved in hiring and managing workers internationally, including recruitment, onboarding, compensation and benefits, payroll, and compliance. Global HR presents particular challenges (and substantial opportunities) for HR teams seeking to scale globally.
Global HR obliges People teams to manage and pay staff while reducing HR-related risks arising from local labour and tax laws. Choosing the right platform is essential to address these global HR challenges.
Companies can hire employees around the world using an employer of record (EOR) instead of establishing a local legal entity. An employer of record assumes legal responsibility for employment and manages taxes, benefits, payroll, and compliance on the company's behalf. Alternatively, a global HR provider can help you hire contractors worldwide or for short-term projects — for example to recruit within a specific country or to run global payroll.
Leading global HR platforms deliver more than payroll and basic management. Remote’s Global Payroll also supports payroll in countries where you operate a local entity. As a result, you can administer and pay your entire workforce from one central HR hub, with consolidated visibility of employment data.
Managing HR globally involves several challenges, but with the right platform and support these can be overcome. Below are some of the main barriers that distributed teams need to address:
Regulatory compliance: Constantly changing labour and tax laws in each country make it difficult for companies to remain compliant. A global HR platform like Remote relieves this burden so your team can hire abroad with speed and assurance.
Developing localised offers: To attract and retain top international talent, organisations must offer compensation and benefits packages that are competitive locally. This requires knowledge of salary benchmarks, candidate expectations and compliance with country-specific rules. Instead of researching benefits requirements and vendors in each market, rely on Remote’s curated plans for the countries where you want to hire.
Managing global payroll: Employers must calculate payroll accurately, apply tax and social security deductions, and manage reporting and compliance, making payroll a complex task. Remote Global Payroll is built to remove administration, manage compliance complexity and reduce payroll errors. Remote removes uncertainty so you can generate, review and approve payroll for all your legal entities in minutes each month.
Data protection and security: International hiring also exposes organisations to risks around data protection and safeguarding intellectual property. Remote’s global HR platform protects customer IP and employment data during every stage of the employment process. Remote IP Guard provides industry-leading protection for your intellectual property and invention rights.
Global HRM covers the management of a dispersed workforce across countries and cultures. It goes beyond traditional HR to account for global variations in staffing, training, compensation and benefits, performance management, legal considerations and worldwide HR policies and procedures.
Managing human resources internationally is considerably more complex. It requires deep familiarity with local business practices, regulatory frameworks and employment law.
Remote’s global HR platform is a suitable HRM partner for overseeing distributed teams. You receive one centralised hub to manage and pay your entire workforce. Remote’s purpose-built global HR platform offers the guidance needed to ensure compliance at every stage of the employment process.
HRM is particularly important for distributed teams. Companies hiring internationally confront a different set of challenges to manage compliance, minimise risk and provide an equitable experience to all employees regardless of their home address.

Recruit and retain talent internationally
Build a diverse and inclusive workforce
Manage employee performance across borders
Establishing a local legal entity to hire, pay and manage workers in a new country places a heavy burden on your team’s time and resources. Remote’s global HR service provides tailored guidance from our HR and legal specialists throughout your hiring journey.
Key functions of global HRM include:
Hiring, onboarding and managing an international workforce
Designing competitive and compliant compensation and benefits packages
Handling tax deductions and payroll processes
Ensuring compliance with local regulations
Each country’s legislation brings distinct challenges for benefits, taxes, payroll and compliance. A trusted HR partner like Remote can make global HR easy by helping you hire global workers with speed, compliance and security.
A global HR manager oversees and co-ordinates all global HR activities, including recruitment, onboarding, compensation and benefits, performance management, payroll and compliance.
They collaborate with local teams in different countries to develop HR policies and procedures that align with local rules and regulations. Typical tasks of a global HR manager include:
Talent acquisition and management: A global HR manager must set up recruitment processes to attract the best talent worldwide. This includes creating efficient onboarding and ongoing strategies that promote effective communication and engagement.
Benefits and compensation: Providing a robust, localised benefits package is essential to building a world-class team. To attract and retain top candidates, a global HR manager must develop an appealing and compliant compensation and benefits offering that meets local labour requirements.
Compliance with global HR policies and labour laws: Each jurisdiction has its own policies on employment, taxes, benefits, payroll and cultural practices to consider. When hiring and paying workers internationally, a global HR manager must follow local regulations and global employment standards to minimise HR-related risks. Ensuring data privacy and security protections is also vital to protect the business from legal and financial exposure.
A purpose-built global HR platform such as Remote can provide HR managers with the complete set 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 stage of international expansion.
