What should you look for in a CoR or CEoR provider?
If you're comparing international workforce providers, we suggest you focus on four questions.
DownloadHow do they manage worker classification?
Look beyond a simple compliant/not-compliant answer. Understand how classification decisions are made and what legal and local expertise supports them.
Everest Group highlighted Workwell's worker classification and compliance expertise, complemented by in-house legal expertise.
Who carries the risk?
Being able to engage a worker doesn't necessarily tell you where responsibility sits. Ask about contractual responsibility, indemnification and insurance.
Everest Group recognised Workwell's differentiated approach to risk management.
Can they support multiple workforce models?
Your workforce might include independent contractors, contingent employees, temporary workers and project-based talent. Consider whether a provider can support those different requirements without creating a fragmented approach.
Everest Group recognised Workwell's integrated operating model across different worker types.
What expertise sits behind the service?
Technology matters, but so does the support available when an engagement isn't straightforward.
Everest Group highlighted Workwell's high-touch, consultative delivery, including access to account managers, legal professionals and country specialists.
