People often reference an integrated world of work, but what exactly is a globalized workforce? In HRchat episode 517, we ask:
- Does a company need to be global to be competitive?
- What key factors should be kept in mind when an organization considers expanding into new markets?
- In terms of HR processes, payroll, and local compliance, what do expanding companies often get wrong?
Our guest to help navigate the choppy waterways of international business is Rick Hammell, founder and CEO of Atlas and author of “Getting Sh*t Done!: The Millennial CEO.”
Rick founded Atlas in 2015, from his dining room table after noticing gaps in the existing marketplace for solutions that enabled companies to expand into new markets simply, quickly, and compliantly.
