Crash course on global HR
What sets global HR apart? What unique challenges come with international employment? Take a short crash course on the core concepts of global HR.
Global HR refers to the HR activities involved in hiring and managing workers across international borders, including recruitment, onboarding, compensation and benefits, payroll, and compliance. Global HR brings distinct challenges (and significant new opportunities) to People teams aiming to scale internationally.
Global HR requires People teams to manage and pay staff while minimising HR-related risks that arise from local employment laws and regulations. Choosing the right platform is critical to overcoming these global HR challenges.
Companies can employ staff worldwide through an employer of record (EOR) without setting up a legal entity in the hiring country. An employer of record assumes the legal responsibilities of employment and handles taxes, benefits, payroll, and compliance on the company’s behalf. Firms can also work with a global HR provider to hire contractors across the globe or for a one-off project — for example, recruiting within a particular country or running global payroll.
Top global HR platforms do more than help you pay and manage international staff. Remote’s Global Payroll allows you to pay employees in countries where you do have a local entity. That means you can manage and pay your entire workforce from one central HR hub, with clear visibility of employment data in a single place.
Managing HR globally presents several difficulties, but with the right platform and support you can address these with confidence. Below are some of the main barriers that globally distributed teams must tackle:
Regulatory compliance: Changing labour and tax laws in each country make it difficult for companies to remain compliant with local legislation. A global HR platform such as Remote relieves this burden, allowing your team to hire abroad quickly and with assurance.
Developing localised offers: To attract and retain top international talent, companies must provide compensation and benefits packages that are competitive in the local market. This requires knowledge of salary benchmarks, candidate expectations and country-specific rules. Rather than researching benefits requirements and vendors in every market, you can rely on Remote’s curated plans for each country you wish to hire in.
Managing global payroll: Organisations must make accurate payroll calculations, determine tax and social security deductions, and handle tax reporting and compliance, which makes payroll complex. Remote Global Payroll is built to remove admin, manage compliance complexity and reduce payroll errors. Remote removes the uncertainty from the process, enabling you to generate, review and approve payroll for all your legal entities in minutes each month.
Data protection and security: Hiring internationally also creates risks to data protection and to 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 industry-leading protections for your intellectual property and invention rights.
Global HRM covers managing a distributed workforce across countries and cultures. It extends beyond traditional HR and accounts for international differences in staffing, global training, compensation and benefits, performance management, legal matters and global HR policies and procedures.
Managing human resources globally is considerably more complex. It requires a detailed understanding of local business practices, regulatory frameworks and employment law.
Remote’s global HR platform is a strong HRM partner for managing distributed teams. You get a single, centralised hub to manage and pay your whole workforce. Remote’s purpose-built global HR platform gives you the guidance needed to handle compliance at every stage of the employment process.
Human resource management matters even more for teams distributed across borders. Companies hiring internationally confront a different set of challenges to ensure compliance, reduce risk, and provide every team member with an equitable experience regardless of their location.

Creating a local legal entity to hire, pay and manage staff in a new country places a heavy burden on your team’s time and resources. Remote’s global HR service provides personalised 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 laws present unique challenges around benefits, taxes, payroll and compliance. A trusted HR partner like Remote can simplify global HR by helping you hire global workers quickly, compliantly and securely.
A global HR manager oversees and co-ordinates all functions related to global HR, 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 comply with local rules and regulations. Some specific tasks of a global HR manager include:
Talent acquisition and management: A global HR manager must establish recruitment processes to attract top talent worldwide. This includes creating efficient onboarding and ongoing strategies to foster strong employee communication and engagement.
Benefits and compensation: Providing a robust, localised benefits package is essential to building an excellent team. To attract and retain top candidates, a global HR manager must design an appealing and competitive compensation and benefits package that complies with local labour requirements.
Compliance with global HR policies and employment laws: Each country has its own rules on employment, taxes, benefits, payroll and cultural practices to consider. While hiring and paying workers internationally, a global HR manager must take account of local regulations and global employment standards to minimise HR-related risk. Protecting data privacy and security is also vital to safeguard the business from legal and financial exposure.
A purpose-built global HR platform such as Remote can supply HR managers with the full stack 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 global expansion.
