The solution
NFP partnered with the client to deliver the global employee benefits and global HR support needed to establish their first overseas entity. We guided the business from initial concept through to a fully compliant and operational new country start up in France.
Our approach included:
- Education on the French state system, mandatory benefits, employment norms and wider cultural expectations
- A detailed compensation benchmarking project covering sixty roles, ensuring the client could cost every stage of their international expansion and present clear long term financial plans to investors
- Close collaboration with our people and talent colleagues to deliver contracts, policies, localised handbooks and compensation guidance as part of fully coordinated global HR support
