Managing employee benefits across borders is often a fragmented, complex, broker-led challenge for multinational companies. HR leaders often have to deal with the arduous task of managing globally competitive benefits across many jurisdictions, each with different regulations and laws, while also synchronising benefits with payroll. Remote Global Benefits provides a seamless alternative by integrating Kota’s benefits solution, saving HR leaders time and emotional energy while saving businesses time and money by automating benefits administration, reducing manual tasks, and eliminating broker fees.
With Remote Global Benefits, customers can easily browse and select plans from local providers, instantly enrol team members, and automate administrative tasks like tax reconciliation and payroll deductions—all fully integrated into their payroll workflow. This solution provides companies with teams across multiple countries, or those expanding into new regions, an efficient way to offer the competitive, localized benefits that are essential for attracting and retaining talent.
As companies compete globally, strong employee benefits are critical to recruiting and retaining top talent. According to Remote’s Global Benefits Report, 60% of employees consider benefits a deciding factor when choosing between job offers, and nearly 80% of companies see improved retention after enhancing their benefits packages. By integrating benefits into the payroll system, Remote’s platform offers a seamless solution that saves HR teams time and effort while meeting employee expectations across borders.
