The challenge: relocating talent globally without the burden of entity establishment
Ideagen DevonWay has employees distributed across the U.S. When the company decided to relocate a team member to the UAE, they needed a solution that matched their high standards for employee care. Ideagen DevonWay is strictly committed to legal compliance and ensuring that employees have all the resources and assistance they need, regardless of their physical location.
However, hiring and relocating employees in a new country introduces extreme complexity, particularly when it necessitates establishing a local legal entity. For a growing software company, this administrative and legal hurdle is incredibly resource-intensive.
"It is not feasible for us to create a local entity every time we hire or relocate an employee internationally," said Laurel Timothy, Director, Finance and HR at Ideagen DevonWay.
The solution: G-P and TriNet working in tandem to deliver a full-stack global employment solution
Ideagen DevonWay turned to their professional employer organization (PEO), TriNet, for global employment advice, which led to a referral to G-P, a preferred global employer of record (EOR).
G-P bridged the gap by providing a dual-support system: a U.S.-based team to communicate with Ideagen DevonWay on administrative matters, and an in-country HR team working in parallel to support the employee on the ground in the UAE. By working with G-P, Ideagen DevonWay gained immediate access to a team of local HR and legal experts, backed by an AI-driven, fully compliant global employment platform that seamlessly complemented their existing TriNet solution.
TriNet helps with our human resource needs in the United States. G-P is a great, full-stack global employment solution that helps us provide a similar, high level of HR service and compliance in the UAE as we do in the U.S. All liabilities, benefits, and other employment matters are being taken care of by experts.”
The impact: seamless compliance, cost savings, and the freedom to focus on software innovation
As Ideagen DevonWay continues to grow and anticipates further national and global expansion, G-P stands ready to adapt their talent plan wherever the business goes. G-P and TriNet operate in tandem to keep the company on top of complex, HR-related compliance — including reporting, registering for tax liabilities, and providing benefits access across all locations.
"To sustain our growth goals, we need to focus on what we do best, which is building and delivering innovative software to our customers and taking care of our amazing people," added Timothy. "G-P and TriNet enable us to do that."
