Velocity Global Expands Operations to El Salvador and Georgia, Secures Compliance in Japan

Velocity Global, the world’s expert on work, announced today the successful opening of new entities in El Salvador and Georgia, which will allow customers easy and compliant access to talent in these economies. This expansion will open opportunities for organizations and local talent alike. The company also announced it has obtained a Haken business license in Japan to ensure continued compliant operations in the country.

Georgia, with its steadily growing economy and strategic location between Europe and Asia, presents an attractive market for companies looking to expand in the region. In El Salvador, a favorable business climate is being fostered by the modernization of foreign trade operations, new physical and digital infrastructure, and a newly implemented legal framework that protects and promotes foreign investment.

As the demand for a global workforce continues to grow, whether for filling specialized open positions, entering new markets, or supporting M&A transactions, the scrutiny to do so compliantly has also increased. Non-compliance with local laws and regulations can lead to significant financial and reputational damage for companies. Velocity Global combines its cloud-based technology with in-depth legal and HR expertise in over 185 countries to create a robust, self-serve platform. The Global Work Platform™ integrates with other leading HR technologies to compliantly hire, pay, and manage employees anywhere in the world.

“Companies looking to engage talent in new markets must comply with local rules and regulations, in addition to unwritten rules and employee expectations. There are pitfalls around every corner,” says Laura Isaza, Vice President of Subsidiary Management and Corporate Governance at Velocity Global. “Compliance has always been a cornerstone of how we do business. As a strategic partner to our customers, we help them hire talent compliantly and strategize on how a global workforce can help them meet their business goals.”

The most compliant way to do business in Japan

As part of its continued excellence in compliance, Velocity Global recently obtained a Haken license in Japan. This license enables Velocity Global to provide EOR services locally in the most compliant manner. Haken relationships are under strict government scrutiny, and all documents in an employee’s hiring package have been reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Labor to certify a compliant operation.

The trusted partner for a borderless workforce

These latest updates continue to demonstrate the company’s customer-first focus. By compliantly engaging with a borderless workforce, customers can drive meaningful business value by focusing on what’s important to their business.
