Global employer services

As companies grow and become more global in scope, employment issues become more complex. Among the most serious challenges businesses face today is compliance with multifaceted tax laws and labour regulations. Deloitte offer well-rounded plans and program development strategies that can help transform global employment programs in a tax- and cost-efficient manner. Our services include:

• International assignment services
• Compensations & benefits
• International human resources
• Risk. Talent. Rewards.
• Technology
• Business Model Optimisation (BMO)

International assignment services 

An important corporate legal and reputational risk that global employers must contend with is ensuring they and their employees are aware of and comply with local filing requirements. A successful international assignment program requires companies to strike a balance between competitive compensation and cost control, always taking care to have effective policies and procedures for regulatory compliance. Deloitte can help with this complex challenge through our extensive knowledge of tax laws across jurisdictions and our specialised compliance and consulting skills and software. Our professionals help companies coordinate various elements related to a globally mobile workforce, to address worldwide compliance with employees’ individual and payroll reporting and filing requirements.

Compensations & benefits 

Organisations seek to design and operate compensation and benefit programs in a cost-effective, tax efficient and compliant manner – for the employer as well as employees. Deloitte professionals help align compensation and benefits programs with a company’s overall talent and corporate strategies, and the marketplace needs. We help address a complex array of tax matters at various stages of a company’s lifecycle, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, right-sizing, and general restructuring. Beyond compliance, our integrated team of specialists can help explore opportunities to transform global employment programs, such as, discerning the total rewards that critical employees want and need; identifying incentives for employees to successfully carry out company business and talent plans; and exploring ideas that provide a cost-efficient return on investment (ROI).

International human resources 

Whether creating a company’s first international program for employees, re-examining the operational effectiveness of an existing program, taking a second look at a current provider, or transitioning the administration of a program to address regulatory concerns, Deloitte’s International Human Resources professionals can help. We work with companies to administer the internal financial and compensation elements of their global mobility programs. Our approach aligns international assignment program goals with overall human resource and corporate strategies. We offer specialised experience in policy design, benchmarking and administration coupled with delivery skills to contribute significant value to the employer which allows them more time to focus on enhancing the employee’s international assignment experience.

Risk. Talent. Rewards. 

The success of every organisation is directly linked to its people. Today’s global environment challenges companies to think strategically about harnessing the energy and ingenuity of a geographically and culturally diverse workforce. Deloitte professionals help multinational organisations assess, improve, and ultimately transform their global mobility, global rewards, global talent and performance management programs. We draw upon the diversity of our organisation’s experience and insight to provide clients with leading edge planning that incorporates a practical perspective on implementation and ongoing operations. Additionally, we offer services that support the design and implementation of appropriate controls to manage the financial and regulatory risk of deploying talent across-borders. Well designed, well managed programs allow companies to quantify ROI and make more strategic decisions about how best to achieve talent management objectives.

Business model optimisation (BMO) 

The global economic environment is characterised by continuous improvements in technology, urgency to adopt and implement best practices and processes, and the potential for legislative changes. Assessing a multinational’s global business model is no longer an optional exercise. Business Model Optimisation (BMO) is the process of balancing the demands of operations and tax law and integrating them into the business model. This helps ensure tax planning does not curtail the bottom line and that the business model does not surrender some or all of the value it creates. Deloitte provides high quality, customised tax and BMO services that focus on helping multinationals integrate operational and tax planning in a scalable and sustainable way in order to enable business leaders to make more effective decisions on an after-tax basis.
