Supporting a Global Workforce in Manufacturing
Industry: Manufacturing | Location: Global
Overview:
After several years of expanding its operations across Europe, Asia, and South America, a leading US manufacturing company recognized the need for an advanced HR solution. This need arose as they sought greater visibility into managing their growing global workforce. While their North American operations benefited from a centralized data system, their international branches operated independently, leaving a significant gap in workforce oversight.
The company’s Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) was tasked with finding a solution that was not only flexible and cost-effective but also capable of being customized to meet diverse employee needs across different regions. This strategic move was aimed at unifying their global HR practices while ensuring adaptability to local regulations and cultures, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency and employee satisfaction.
Challenges
The main predicament was finding a solution that was flexible enough to effectively manage global business processes while meeting country-specific requirements.
- Gain visibility to data and reporting for each location
- Ability to effectively manage global compensation across the organization
- Visibility to manage entire contingent workforce in one place
- Ability to customize system functionality to meet local needs
- Reduce costs to stay competitive in a ruthless industry
- Adhere to varying legal regulations (including GDPR compliance) across eight different countries
- Find a solution that supports their six languages of operation but at the same time maintains local expertise for each location
