According to the latest data provided by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, <strong>41% increased their exports in 2012.<\/strong> The Spanish Current Exports Outlook Survey indicates that the majority increased their exports or remained stable, and no changes in this trend were forecasted. This data demonstrates the value of our brand abroad and the opportunity that internationalization offers our companies.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What happens when a company decides to expand abroad? When undertaking an internationalization process, organizations planning to operate in other countries must consider <strong>HR as one of their key cornerstones for the success or failure of their business ventures.<\/strong> As a company\u2019s international presence grows, several challenges surfacing in this area must be overcome: applying global HR policies common to all countries transparently, the importance of merging global strategies with local requirements, or controlling the costs of such a project\u2014these are issues that play a strategic role in companies desiring presence in the global marketplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The use of technology has become an indispensible ally for tackling these issues. It is no longer justifiably acceptable to hear top managers of an organization say, \u201c<em>I have roughly a thousand employees worldwide<\/em>\u201d or that different branches report on their employees and headcount&nbsp;to their holding companies or HQ,&nbsp;so that the data can be consolidated manually. Multinational companies realize that <strong>traditional procedures have become a burden rather than a solution<\/strong>, since the workforce status and headcount can fluctuate during the time information is submitted in a document until the data is unified and made public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To optimize these obsolete systems which are often subject to human error and information loss, <strong>multinationals need <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meta4.com\/services\/311\/saas-hr.html\">global technology platforms<\/a> that help them manage their human capital.<\/strong> Such systems allow multinationals to cut operational costs as well as deliver better management and process automation that ultimately lead to increased productivity while meeting the company\u2019s targeted business goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This kind of solution allows top management to define a global HR management model and deploy it in each country they operate in, <strong>while respecting local labor customs.<\/strong> At first sight this seems straightforward, but often this isn\u2019t factored in. For example, hire process management isn\u2019t the same for Spain, USA or Saudi Arabia: in certain countries it is mandatory to disclose the employees\u2019 religious faith or race, while in others this is not permitted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, geographical diversity in companies is consequently a growing necessity for modern enterprises. That is why a global technology tool that consolidates and delivers all employee information in real time is something that that <strong>many Spanish companies have come to appreciate.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish companies need meta4 global saas hr solutions to manage their employees worldwide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":2515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[350,349,344],"tags":[250,78,224],"class_list":["post-5667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-hr","category-hr-analytics","category-talent-management","tag-global-hr","tag-hr-analytics","tag-talent-management"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.1 -
