After nearly two years of lockdowns that disrupted business operations around the world, the global staffing industry is gearing up to meet new challenges faced by companies worldwide. 

The SIA Executive Forum Europe is the European leadership staffing event of the year, and as a global industry leader and innovator, Acumen International is pleased to be among its top supporters. 

The theme of this year’s SIA Executive Forum Europe is “Harder, better, faster, stronger: The staffing industry emerging from crisis,” and Acumen International is proud to be the event Gold Sponsor.

This year’s event will be held in London, live and in-person, and our entire team is excited to participate. We look forward to networking with established colleagues and industry peers, and to building new relationships.

During the event, Acumen will have plenty of opportunities to share our knowledge and expertise in niche-focused round tables, tracked breakout sessions and casual networking. And of course, we look forward to tapping into the insight and wisdom of the movers and shakers of the world’s staffing industry. 

As SIA’s corporate member, understanding the challenges and needs of the international HR, staffing and global payroll audience, Acumen is happy to present our newly launched online Global Payroll Calculator (GPC).

The GPC was designed to transform the way the process of calculating how much it would cost a business to hire International talent across the world is done today.

The Calculator can help global employers get instant calculations of the cost of hiring global talent around the globe. This unique online tool provides automated tax and payroll estimates in 190 countries in only a minute time, and allows for calculating the total employment cost for both local citizens and expatriates.

Now, instead of collecting numerous data manually, global employers can get instant standardized automated cost of hire estimates for 190 countries.

Stay tuned for a play-by-play recap of the SIA London event and read about the favorite takeaways from the Acumen International team. 

P.S.

Just a few short weeks ago, the Acumen team attended the SIA GigE 2021 Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

SIA events bring together the world’s global HR leaders, giving us all the opportunity to network, share ideas and insights, and socialize of course!

We are excited to announce that Acumen International has been nominated for the GPA 2021 award for Professional Employment Organization of the Year! 

The Global Payroll Association (GPA) is a professional association for businesses in the global and in-country payroll space. The GPA provides their members with interactive training courses, comprehensive directories, webinars, podcasts and in-depth country resources. 

Each year, the GPA selects businesses from among the world’s leading payroll organizations to compete for Global Payroll Awards in 15 subcategories. Winners are announced at the annual GPA Payroll Summit. 

Last year’s event was held online, but this year’s participants will meet face-to-face in the lovely town of Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England on November 11. Team Acumen International is happy to join in!

This year’s nomination is not Acumen’s first rodeo — we were named PEO of the Year in 2020!

We are especially excited about the GPA 2021 event, because we have launched our new unique SaaS solution – Global Payroll Calculator (GPC). The GPC helps our international clients to budget and make informed decisions on their global hiring projects while easily calculating and comparing payroll and employment costs worldwide (105 countries already available, others of the 190 Acumen covers to be added shortly). 

Acumen’s GPC tool was created with our clients’ unique challenges in mind. We carefully researched the needs of our international clients and brainstormed for ways we could help them transform their global payroll processes. 

With our GPC, global businesses and international business service providers can now calculate and compare payroll and employment costs worldwide with just a few clicks.

Acumen’s Global Payroll Calculator allows to: 

• Quickly estimate the total employment cost for both local and expatriate staff in multiple countries
