The challenges and advantages of managing global teams
Briefly

As businesses increasingly hire globally, they unlock benefits like diverse perspectives and wider talent pools. However, only 24% of leaders believe their organizations are ready for a distributed workforce. The challenges include managing legal compliance across countries, fostering communication within multicultural teams, and leading effectively from a distance. Addressing these challenges requires strategic approaches such as using employer of record (EOR) solutions for compliance and establishing clear communication policies to help remote teams stay connected and engaged.
As companies look increasingly further afield for workers, they unlock a range of benefits—from wider talent pools that make it easier to find specialized talent to the injection of new perspectives.
While most business leaders agree that developing the right workplace model is crucial to their company's success, only 24% feel their organization is actually ready to fully embrace a distributed workforce.
Navigating laws across multiple countries increases chances of misclassification penalties and other legal troubles—this is why more companies are pivoting to an employer of record (EOR) solution.
Clear communication is much harder than it might be in person, especially with workers operating in different time zones, necessitating robust internal communication policies.
