Selling SaaS Globally paddle.com How to solve the problem With so many moving parts when it comes to hiring staff internationally, it’s important to have clear visibility over your employees and people processes.

Teams can use these tools to send automated reminders to track important dates for compliance and ensure you’re following labor laws in each country. What are the bene昀椀ts? Using software is cheaper than outsourcing to PEOs. There are a number of tools to help with di昀昀erent areas of people management: • Collaborative working and project management tools like GSuite, Asana, and Monday.com work well for global teams, and should be able to scale with you wherever you are. • Cloud-based human resources, contract signing, and applicant tracking systems can help you manage global and remote people operations more e昀昀ectively.
