NelsonHall 2025 Global EOR Services NEAT Report
Thank you!
“Safeguard Global’s position as a Leader in the 2025 EOR NEAT evaluation reflects strong client-centric execution, a clear roadmap for enabling workforce expansion without the risk, and a demonstrated ability to ensure compliance across regulatory environments.”
What is the NEAT Report?
The NelsonHall Vendor Evaluation & Assessment Tool (NEAT) report analyzes leading EOR providers in the overall market segment on two critical dimensions: Their ability to deliver immediate benefits and their ability to meet future client requirements. Vendors are then positioned into four categories — Leaders, High Achievers, Innovators, and Major Players.
Why Safeguard Global was named a Leader
NelsonHall recognized Safeguard Global as a Leader for our ability to combine technology innovation with deep local expertise and a client-centric approach. Key strengths include:
- Mature provider of global EOR refined by our 2025 divestiture of the enterprise payroll division, allowing us to focus fully on workforce enablement and EOR.
- Proven innovation through early adoption of GenAI, including the launch of ChatSG in 2023 and the Intelligent Workforce analytics tool in 2025.
- “Human when it matters” approach, balancing automation with local HR expertise to minimize compliance risk and improve decision-making.
- Continued R&D investment in our IP and services, minimizing compliance risk and optimizing data-driven decision-making for our clients.
What this means for global organizations
The NelsonHall report shows that the global EOR market is entering a period of rapid growth and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 17.3% to reach nearly $6 billion USD by 2029. North American-based companies are expected to remain the primary target as early adopters of worldwide EOR services. However, Africa, the Middle East, and APAC will present strong opportunities for acquiring new clients and expanding talent pools.
Growth sectors expecting increased adoption include energy, renewables, healthcare, and professional services. At the same time, innovations such as GenAI and agentic AI are transforming how companies manage compliance, payroll, and the employee experience.
As a recognized Leader, Safeguard Global is uniquely positioned to help organizations seize these opportunities — pairing cutting-edge technology with local expertise to deliver compliant global expansion without the risk.
