What Are Global HR Services?
Global HR services involve handling human resource functions across multiple countries, covering areas such as payroll, benefits, compliance, and employee relations.
For multinational companies, it's essential to navigate the challenges of managing a diverse global workforce, including cultural and geographic nuances, language differences, and adherence to local laws.
Global HR services involve:
Recruiting and onboarding staff in new markets
Handling local payroll taxes and reporting
Managing statutory benefits like health insurance or pensions
Staying compliant with country-specific labor laws
Navigating cultural differences in workplace practices
The demand for these global workforce solutions continues to grow as the international human resource outsourcing market was valued at $32.8 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $45.8 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 4.9%.
Here are some proven solutions Atlas offers to help you streamline HR operations, reduce costs, and ensure compliance worldwide.
1. Global HR Compliance Without the Risk
Global expansion can be complex, but it doesn't have to be risky. When you work with EOR service providers like Atlas, we take on the role of the legal employer for your overseas staff. This means we handle all HR responsibilities while you focus on day-to-day management and business growth.
Our compliance coverage includes:
Employment contract creation
Ongoing labor law monitoring and updates
Local tax and benefits compliance audits
HR policy alignment across jurisdictions
Atlas HXM's in-country experts ensure every employment contract, policy, and procedure meets local labor laws and evolving compliance requirements. Unlike providers that only advise, we take full responsibility.

2. Competitive, Locally Compliant Employee Benefits
The best talent expects more than just a paycheck. Atlas HXM builds benefit packages tailored to each country's legal requirements and cultural norms, helping you stand out in competitive hiring markets.
We design and manage:
Private medical insurance, dental, and vision
Enhanced parental leave and PTO upgrades
