HR How-To: International Assignment
International assignments are a fantastic way to access new markets, new talent and bid-to-win projects across the globe. But with money, time and reputations at stake, the pressure is on to get it right.
Some countries have an overabundance of skilled specialists, while others have a dearth. Atlas helps to level out local talent markets by providing expert legal and migration services. If you’re looking to bring people in from elsewhere—or if you’re looking to send your best people to a new global location—we can put them where they need to be faster, and with full compliance.
Moving people from country to country goes beyond just getting them on the ground and working legally. There are many other aspects you might need to consider. Where will they live? Where will they work from? How will they get between the two? These relatively small details can feel like mountains to climb when organizing cross-border people transfers. Atlas helps you to scale them.
Atlas has on-the-ground entities in over 160 countries, and never works with third parties. One partner who manages everything in one platform gives you flexibility and access to the data you need to grow your business. It’s the most streamlined, compliant way to expand globally.
The indirect model works with third parties from country to country to provide local entities and payroll services. This middle-man approach to global talent means more touch points, more time spent in management, and higher cost.
It’s important for workers landing in a new country to feel at home right away. Which is why Atlas facilitates world-class housing to get your people settled. We work with families to figure out a plan and then we move them where they need to be. Our most popular housing options for clients are fully serviced apartments—which are usually fully equipped with gyms, parking, and even concierge services.
Talk to us about budget, space and facilities requirements for local offices in your new country. We’ll get right on it to help you find premises that fit your corporate identity and allow your people to work to the best of their ability. Whether it’s a desk in a co-working space or an entire office complex, we handle the entire set up so that all your people need to do is arrive.
A car can be a lifeline for employees and contractors landing in new countries. It’s a familiar way of getting around that saves your people from negotiating local public transport. We have long-standing relationships with world-renowned car leasing companies to provide your people with cars that match their style, size and terrain requirements.
