Managing Your International Workforce – A three part webinar series

Most employers believe they’re in control of their international workforce — until they discover they’re not.

A remote login from abroad. A short-term assignment that quietly extends. Support to a group company in another country. A team on a foreign project. What seems like a routine business decision can quickly trigger corporate tax, individual income tax, social security, payroll, employment law, immigration, and permanent establishment risks — often without being flagged internally.

In today’s flexible, multi-location world, traditional rules were never built for this reality. And while international talent creates real opportunity, it also demands careful, coordinated compliance.

To help you stay ahead, we’re hosting a free three-part webinar series: “Managing Your International Workforce.”

Our experts will guide you through these topics in a clear, practical and case‑based way to ensure you are prepared, compliant and confident.

What you can expect

• A clear overview of the most important legal, tax and payroll aspects of international employment
• Practical insights and key points of attention for HR, Finance and leadership
• Concrete tips to avoid risks and stay compliant
• In depth perspectives from seasoned specialists with years of hands on experience

This webinar series is particularly valuable for business leaders, HR professionals, tax and payroll specialists, and anyone involved in cross-border employment.
