Unlocking opportunities with G-P

Cogstate optimizes cognitive assessments to support the development of new therapeutics and provide earlier brain health insights in clinical care. When the Australian-based company needed to hire talent in a new country, it recognized the importance of partnering with an Employer of Record (EOR).

An EOR partnership would ensure smooth operations, adherence to local regulations, and handle legal presence establishment, payroll, taxes, benefits administration, and compliance matters for regional team members. Cogstate sought recommendations from a local HR consulting firm, which suggested collaborating with G-P, a recognized leader in the global employment industry.

Ensuring compliance, fostering team unity

With G-P’s support, Cogstate’s leadership team has the expertise they need to ensure the company is adhering to local regulations. This comprehensive compliance management has helped reduce key uncertainties and risks associated with operating in international markets.

Cogstate’s leadership also values how G-P’s services and support play an important role in fostering a sense of belonging and unity within the company’s culture, ensuring a seamless integration of global team members.

“No matter the country they reside in, our team members receive comprehensive support,” Teunissen said. “We love that our international team members feel fully integrated into our daily operations and are embraced as part of our ‘family,’ regardless of employment details being managed by G-P.”
