Few companies are purely national in scope. Even small “mom and pop” shops are beginning to employ multinational employees from diverse cultures, speaking a range of different languages. In fact, a startling 78% of companies manage teams of employees beyond their national border. Today’s workforce also comprises more than just full-time employees; its non-permanent workers include independent contractors, temporary employees, freelancers, and other contingent workers across the globe.

In this rapidly changing environment, talent recruitment and retention has become progressively strategic. Fifty-five percent of companies source talent beyond their own borders, requiring 58% to implement HR policies that address the increasingly global workforce.
