Global HR for direct employees, no local team required

HR & Benefits is available across 73 countries. You get a named contact and a consistent service experience wherever your employees are, with the employment rules of each country built into how we work.

CoreHR is a fully managed service that takes day to day HR administration and benefits operations off your team's plate. We act as an extension of your HR function, running the operational work for employees on your own entities so your team can focus on strategy, culture, and growth.

They solve different problems. EOR is for hiring in a country where you don't have a legal entity, in which case Safeguard Global becomes the legal employer. CoreHR is for employees you already employ on your own entity, where you want a partner to run the HR and benefits administration for them.

Yes, and this is one of the most common journeys we support, whether your employees are currently on our own EOR or another provider's. As you set up local entities, our CoreHR service picks up your employees so the day to day experience stays uninterrupted, with deep in-country expertise across every market we cover. If payroll, entity setup and management, or finance and compliance services are part of the move, you can add them as you go, so you have one accountable partner through the transition rather than a patchwork of vendors.

CoreHR covers the full employee lifecycle, including:

• Onboarding and offboarding
• Day to day HR administration and employee record changes
• Ongoing HR support for your employees
• Benefits procurement, enrolment, and administration
• Working alongside your payroll team or provider in country

You're supported by a dedicated service team that gets to know your business, your people, and how you work. Requests go to the same team every time, so you're never starting from scratch or chasing multiple inboxes. As you expand into new countries the team grows with you, drawing on global HR expertise and local knowledge where it's needed.

Employees raise HR and benefits questions through a dedicated portal or by emailing their assigned Safeguard Global contact. Every request is tracked against agreed response times, and your HR team is kept informed of anything that needs your input.

Your team can come to us for help with:

• HR policies and procedures
• Employment documentation, including contracts and letters
• Promotions, role changes, and personal data updates
• Benefits enrolment, eligibility, and claims questions

Our benefits services include:

• Sourcing and procuring local benefits, including healthcare, pensions, and statutory cover
• Enrolling new hires and managing life event changes
• Running annual open enrolment
• Supporting employees with eligibility and claims questions
• Coordinating with insurers and benefits providers in each country
