🌏 Ready to Expand into Asia? Let's Talk Strategy! 🌏 Lately, my inbox has been buzzing with queries from Western companies eager to hire full-time in Asia. But here's the catch: most of these talks hit a snag. Why? It traces back to a few misconceptions. 🤔 Assumption 1: Managing Asian employees mirrors the home turf. Spoiler alert: Far from it! Back home, you're in sync with your team—same language, culture, and time zone. You know their work environment, their challenges, and you can lend them a hand when needed. In Asia? Not that simple. 🌐 Challenge: Language, culture, and time zone gaps. 😬 Without understanding your employee's environment, effective communication is a hurdle, and problem-solving becomes a puzzle. How can you manage what you don't fully grasp? Something to ponder for your team discussions. 💬 🚀 Consider the Shift: What if you could navigate Asia seamlessly without the full-time hire? Partnering with us offers: ·     Local expertise to navigate complexities. ·     Risk mitigation without the hiring headache. ·     Streamlined, cost-effective solutions. Curious or seeking more insights? Drop me a message! Let's ensure your Asia expansion is a resounding success! 🚀✨ #AsiaExpansion #BusinessGrowth #StrategicPartnership 🌐💼

🌎 One of the major challenges of global expansion is adapting to new cultures. A lack of cultural awareness or language skills can lead to complications and hinder an attempt to expand. Take China, for example, where respect and politeness are cornerstones of business culture. An unintended gesture can knock a fledgling business relationship off course. China has been a challenge for even the biggest and companies. Tech giants like Amazon, Google, eBay, and Uber have struggled in China, in part, because they lacked knowledge of the cultural nuances. 🏢 Partnering with a Direct #EmployerOfRecord can support your company's entry into a new market, guiding you through cultural nuances, local labor and tax laws, and the obstacle of administrative work in a new language. A Direct EOR, like Atlas, has an entity and customer service support in China and over 160 countries.

Hear Oswald Yeo, CEO of Glints answer the minimum number of people required to build a talent hub in any country across the Asia Pacific region. "Oswald Yeo: I can't find anyone in Singapore. I can't find anyone in Hong Kong. Let me just go global. Hire 1 per cent in Pakistan, 1 per cent in Eastern Europe,  1 per cent in Latin America, 1 per cent in India. That's difficult as well because then you end up having a team of freelancers rather than a real team.  They don't really feel that they're part of a company. So the approach we have found to work well is what we call building up talent hubs. Bernard Leong:  What's the critical mass typically you'd require us to actually facilitate, that kind of almost starting to become a team and becoming a company in that sense.   Oswald Yeo: Great question. It's actually not a huge number. We would, we've learned that at least three people, it's all you need to get started. At least three  people are when you have a team, one person is solo, and two people are a pair.  Three is once you have a team."
