Acceleration Of Global Hiring And Workforce Changes Drives Growth At Safeguard Global
Safeguard Global Expands Executive Team to Support Growing Demand for Flexible Working and International Workforces
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Safeguard Global, a workforce management technology company that helps fast-growing multinational organizations scale their workforces as they enter new markets and compete for talent internationally, announced today four strategic new hires to the organization's executive team, highlighting the company's expansive growth in 2021 and demand for HR and workforce solutions that enable organizations and talent to work in any way.
While the shift to remote work was growing steadily before the pandemic, the past 18 months have proven that businesses and their employees can successfully work from anywhere. However, to gain a competitive edge in a fiercely competitive labor market, organizations must also support flexible work styles that engage their workforce and meet the needs of talent everywhere, including internationally. A survey conducted by Safeguard Global of over 200 companies found that 80% of HR and Finance leaders say operating in different countries is vital to their organization's success.
The addition to Safeguard Global's executive team reflects these significant global workforce changes and the growing need for HR solutions that help multinational companies outperform competitors and retain talent globally.
