The Global Workforce Playbook

Published 26 Jul 2022

It seems like everybody’s going global these days, doesn’t it? 

Following seasons of huge recruitment challenges for businesses — here’s looking at you, Great Resignation —  it’s no wonder employers are taking a wider view of the world of talent. Movement limitations due to the pandemic have stopped highly skilled talent from entering markets, leading to significant skills shortages over the last two years. Now that restrictions have been lifted, local talent are seeking international opportunities as they rush to travel or return to their home countries. 

But a global talent pool isn’t the only plus of a global team. The list of benefits is long. When you open up your workforce to worldwide talent, you give your business a competitive edge. You benefit from diverse thinking, and gain insights into international markets. You can access incredible skills, and solve business problems more effectively. It truly is a win-win situation.

Small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) have traditionally had limited access to these benefits. They’ve missed out on international talent while larger businesses with more money and resources reap the benefits. But the tide is changing. With professional employment organisation services like Global Teams now more accessible than ever, SMBs can access great talent without complex international employment compliance management. 

However, we’re not here to talk about the benefits of a global workforce. We’re here to talk about how to create a dynamic, effective, global team that can take your business to new heights. With this back-to-basics playbook, we’ll be working through the best practices when it comes to recruitment, management and company culture of a global team.

What will the global workforce playbook cover?

  • Planning for a global workforce
  • How to recruit employees internationally
  • How to lead a global team
