An EOR streamlines the communication, legal, and logistical challenges that impact your disparate international workforce.

Workers evolved preferences and current skill shortages across major markets have driven many mid-market businesses and enterprises to recruit remote global talent. Hiring across geographical borders has catalyzed growth and profitability, but has also made ensuring a good employee experience to retain talent more complex for organizations.

This article unpacks the ways in which an employer of record supports businesses with remote, disparate global workforces to ensure a unified and positive employee experience across all locations.

Fill skill gaps in the team at speed with fast and flexible hiring and onboarding

By partnering with an employer of record, your business can fill skill gaps quickly and on budget by compliantly hiring top talent across international markets without establishing a legal entity overseas.

Skill gaps within teams can cause friction and impact productivity. A comprehensive EOR unlocks a vast and diverse domestic and global talent pool, giving your business access to more candidates with the specific competencies your team requires and who align with your organization’s mission. Streamlined processes and strong value alignment promote a positive company culture and harmony among new and existing employees.

Deel EOR supports speedy talent acquisition across a market-leading 150+ countries, giving organizations greater flexibility and optionality than any other employer of record.

Power customized and structured employee training and comprehensive support

The best EORs have intuitive self-serve platforms that consolidate assets and provide standardized, asynchronous remote access to the training materials that each new and existing member of your global workforce needs to succeed. Some EORs provide additional support in local languages to streamline employee onboarding and training internationally.

Employee training is essential to onboarding new hires and integrating them into the team. Simultaneously, professional development opportunities are a key driver of employee engagement for your existing workers.

The onboarding training and initial support a new hire receives can heavily influence their sense of belonging within their team, their time to productivity and autonomy within their role, and ultimately their job satisfaction and retention. Employee churn negatively impacts teams’ performance and morale, so retaining talent ensures that skill gaps won’t damage productivity or decrease motivation.

An employer of record gives organizations the tools and guidance to streamline global employees' upskilling and reskilling. By providing equitable opportunities for your disparate workforce to develop their existing skills (upskill) or adopt new skills (reskill), you empower employees to progress and achieve their career goals within an innovative organizational culture of continuous growth and learning. This boosts their motivation, productivity, and satisfaction, enabling you to retain top talent.

Deel EOR makes it simple for organizations to deliver customized and structured training for new hires and existing employees. Managers can improve efficiency by auto-assigning onboarding tasks to new hires with Deel EOR’s integrated onboarding plugin for Slack and 24/7 support in employees’ local languages makes employee experience cohesive across every time zone.

Deel Engage offers extra support to turn new hires into high performers. The additional platform feature makes creating and segmenting automated workflows and onboarding tasks based on location or department simple. You can expedite orientation and monitor individual users’ progress, areas for improvement, and achievements.

Timely payments and benefit administration

A comprehensive EOR unifies your global payroll processing and tax and social security filing into a single, international, and scalable solution for a cohesive, positive international employee experience.

Reliable and timely salary payments are vital for employee satisfaction and a seamless global team experience. However, manual data input and poor synchronization across multiple siloed systems and providers can lead to payroll errors, delays, and inconsistencies between regions.

Late or incorrect salary deposits can cause enormous financial stress for employees who may live paycheck-to-paycheck. Insufficient funds mean scheduled payments incur late fees and penalties and can affect employees’ credit ratings, leading to dissatisfaction with the employer and reputational damage.

With Deel EOR, companies can improve how they manage employee salaries and benefits by combining their separate payroll systems into Deel’s unified payroll platform, making sure workers are paid on time and receive their benefits properly.

Break down barriers to communication, collaboration, and cohesion

A comprehensive employer of record enables flexible, asynchronous communication and collaboration between global teams by consolidating tools and processes into a single, multi-functional platform. Equitable access to information, tools, and assets across every region levels improves employee experience by enhancing worker autonomy and productivity across their independent work and asynchronous collaboration.

Weak communication, collaboration, and cohesion jeopardize a good employee experience. When a global team relies on fragmented systems and exclusively synchronous communication, it often causes inequities between international employees operating in regions with contrasting time zones.

Deel EOR equips globally dispersed organizations with all the communication and collaboration tools required for effective asynchronous communication. This improves teams’ efficiency and employee satisfaction.

Deel’s comprehensive solution streamlines processes and enhances the employee experience by supporting strong communication for seamless working relationships with reduced conflict, and a consistent, flexible, and equitable work-life balance across all regions. The unified platform also eliminates frustrating inaccuracies caused by siloed systems and unclear or inconsistent processes.
