How compliance challenges limit global business

Successful businesses think globally. Whether they build teams across continents, source goods and services internationally, or assign employees abroad, a global approach creates competitive advantages - but also brings complex compliance, mobility, and employee safety challenges. How do you ensure compliance when your sales team visits clients abroad? What happens when your developer wants to work from Lisbon for three months? When an employee faces an emergency abroad, how do you fulfil your duty of care?

The old way to solve this problem does not work anymore

During the Covid crisis, Pieter Manden, Co-Founder of WorkFlex and global mobility expert, observed with his clients that addressing modern mobility challenges through traditional consulting was too slow, vague, and expensive for fast-changing market dynamics. Today, international travel is increasing, authorities are introducing new compliance regulations, and global safety risks are escalating. This growing complexity creates significant barriers to global operations, forcing teams to spend vast amounts of time, money, and energy on administration instead of strategic priorities.

Through advancements in technology and AI, we saw the opportunity to make compliance effortless

The WorkFlex software platform automatically handles compliance solutions for companies - instantly and transparently. Unlike traditional consulting approaches that provide just advice, WorkFlex executes the actual work for you through intelligent automation. If a business trip requires specific documentation, we secure it. If an employee needs immediate assistance abroad, we step in and handle it. Where others make compliance more complex, we simplify it.

Today, WorkFlex frees thousands of HR leaders to think globally without regulatory or safety constraints. Instead of asking "what are the compliance risks and safety concerns?" leaders can focus on "what are the business opportunities?" With WorkFlex, business decisions are driven by potential, not limitations.
