The solution
NFP delivered a full global audit across 25 countries, reviewing every mandatory requirement, social security obligation, collective bargaining agreement and market benchmark. The audit revealed where the client was compliant, where they were under benchmark and where they were legally exposed.
Our approach included:
- Full country by country reviews, assessing statutory benefits, collective agreements and existing employee arrangements
- Identifying where mandatory plans were missing, clearly outlining the implications and providing a prioritised remediation plan
- Creating a roadmap to help the client first meet mandatory requirements, then address benchmark gaps, and finally introduce competitive benefits
- Providing legislative updates through GBI and notifying the client of any upcoming country specific changes, from pensions to new categories of statutory leave
The results
For their business
Early identification and mitigation of compliance risk
Extensive audits uncovered noncompliance in 11 jurisdictions, enabling the organisation to address legal risks before issues escalated.
Clear prioritisation of spend and delivery
A phased plan allowed the charity to focus budget on mandatory requirements first, followed by market-driven improvements aligned to headcount size.
Long-term confidence in compliance
Ongoing legislative alerts and guidance gave the organisation confidence it will remain compliant over time, even in complex markets with changing rules and collective agreements.
For their people
Access to formal benefits for the first time
Employees in multiple countries will receive their first structured benefits package, including mandatory life and disability cover, pensions and accident insurance where required.
Fairer benefits aligned to market expectations
Benchmark reporting ensures future benefits will reflect local market norms, supporting greater fairness across locations.
Clearer entitlements and stronger protections
Long-serving employees now benefit from clearer entitlements, legally compliant protections and improved recognition of their service.
