THE WORLD IS OUR WORKPLACE

More and more companies are working across borders and sending their employees abroad. There are many reasons for this. They range from transferring know-how and promoting career prospects to project and assembly work. Looking after these employees, also known as “expats”, presents HR managers with major challenges that increase with each new foreign location. The complexity lies – depending on the country of assignment and the destination – in creating motivating and efficient conditions for the expat and his family on the one hand. On the other hand, complex legal issues must be taken into account and reconciled. These include in particular aspects of employment, tax and social security law, which, if handled superficially or schematically, pose considerable risks for both the employee and the company. We help you to successfully master these challenges.

Balkans Recruitment advises and supports companies in the design of their international employee assignments – regardless of whether from Balkan countries to abroad or vice versa. You and your expats are the focus of our actions. We look at every employee assignment in all its diversity and from different perspectives. In doing so, we examine all aspects of employment, tax and social security law as well as personnel issues, without any set pattern. Taking into account the size of the company and the frequency of assignments, we develop goal-oriented strategies and solutions together with you. These address the needs of the company as well as the employee and his family and thus contribute significantly to the success of the assignment abroad.
