Globalization Partners Helps Ecolex Achieve Lightning-Fast International Expansion


When Opportunity Arises, They Can Easily Capitalize on Demand

BOSTON and SINGAPORE, May 18, 2021 — Globalization Partners, which enables companies to hire anyone, anywhere, quickly, and easily, via its AI-driven, automated and fully compliant global Employer of Record (EOR) platform today announced that Ecolex, a leading bioscience based enterprise, is utilizing its solution to quickly and compliantly expand into new markets.

Ecolex needed to hire talent outside of their home base in the U.S., but when they evaluated the options, the company struggled to find a single solution that covered all their needs – especially when it came to staying on top of changing, complex international regulations.  They then turned to Globalization Partner’s end-to-end solution which not only provided a platform for payroll and expense management, but it also lifted the risk of hiring internationally. A main advantage: with its own entities around the world, Globalization Partners provides a local presence with a global reach.

"We needed to hire talent in Singapore and being able to rely on Globalization Partners which has a presence there makes our lives so much easier. No more time zone issues that had been occurring with our previous EOR provider or trouble working together," said Rosalind Lee, Corporate Finance and Business Controller at Ecolex. "What’s more, Globalization Partners’ team addresses our needs and concerns no matter what time of day it is. They have compliance on lockdown, particularly pertaining to Employment Pass issues."

From its primary business of producing vegetable-oil products in 2004, Ecolex has since diversified its portfolio to include dairy products and food ingredients, as well as personal and home care products. Ecolex is in growth mode and as the company turns its focus to one of the fastest-growing countries in Northeast Asia and other regions around the globe, the ability to have a local presence enables them to provide a more specialized, offering. Now, working with Globalization Partners, the company can quickly and easily seamlessly integrate teams of local talent in new markets wherever demand is detected.

"Our solution opens up the gateway to hiring talent anywhere in the world and is the most comprehensive in the EOR industry," said Charles Ferguson, General Manager, Asia Pacific. "Our in-country experts can support any and all HR and compliance needs which is a game changer for companies like Ecolex who want to take advantage of new market opportunities now."

"Globalization Partners’ platform provides total visibility of the teams we set up in other countries. We know that with a simple click, we can go into a new market which for us, will be Argentina next," said Lee. 

As an EOR, Globalization Partners allows companies to hire anywhere in the world by serving as the legal employer, handling payroll, taxes, and benefits, and ensuring compliance with local employment laws and regulations, freeing up companies to manage and direct the daily work of their team members.

Frost & Sullivan Evaluates How Remote Working will Redefine Global Mobility by 2030

Webinar will explore how COVID-19 will have a transformative impact on key mobility segments such as corporate travel, car ownership and urbanization

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 29, 2021 — Mobility patterns across cities are highly influenced by Mega Trends, global events, changing work environments, and shifting industry structures, which have a direct correlation with commuting preferences. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is expected to affect the mobility industry for the foreseeable future. Industries and organizations have been forced to rethink the possibilities of their workforce working from home while staff considers new remote working set-ups away from congested cities.

Frost & Sullivan Evaluates How Remote Working will Redefine Global Mobility by 2030

This could lead to drastic short-term and possible long-term impacts on industries, the workforce, and the mobility market. In the short term, reduced vehicle usage would be a direct outcome. Consequently, a sustained ripple effect on private car registrations, public transit and new mobility solution adoption, trip patterns, urbanization and infrastructure requirements could disrupt the entire mobility industry. The evolving dynamics and rise in remote working trends are expected to significantly impact overall mobility patterns by 2030.

Join Shwetha Surender, Director, Frost & Sullivan’s Mobility Practice, for the Growth Opportunity briefing, "3 Remote Working Scenarios and their Impact on the Transportation Landscape," on May 5 at 10 a.m EDT. In this webinar, discover why COVID-19 is expected to alter growth paradigms for the mobility market, especially for business models. In addition, understand how "the new normal" is redefining the corporate mobility services segment by necessitating new corporate travel requirements and the adoption of new mobility solutions.

For more information and to register for the webinar, please visit: http://frost.ly/5m1

The future of mobility across the globe poses important questions about the need for sustainable, connected and shared mobility modes. Assessing future possibilities to achieve sustainable mobility will enable effective decision-making for cities, industries, and mobility providers.

Key benefits of attending this webinar:

  • Understand the implications of remote working on the global transportation landscape, including car ownership vis-à-vis shared mobility usage and employee commuting patterns.
  • Discover how and why shared mobility operators, technology platform providers, and OEMs will benefit from and/or be disrupted by the expected impact on mobility outflow, plans for buying a vehicle and modal shifts such as increased usage of shared mobility and active transportation modes.
  • Learn how businesses can capitalize on the seismic changes happening in the industry to build a more robust growth pipeline by tapping strategies such as supplying new mobility solutions (including bike sharing, corporate ride hailing, demand responsive transit, flexible subscription packages, and mobility budget) and driving business with new vehicle segments.

The event will also be recorded and available on-demand at http://frost.ly/1ti

DevOps Institute Announces the ‘Upskilling 2021: Enterprise DevOps Skills Report’

With new data gathered from over 2,000 IT professionals worldwide, the report shows the continued adoption of DevOps must be supported through a learning organization and the continuous development of multi-faceted, skilled DevOps professionals

BOCA RATON, Fla., April 21, 2021 — DevOps Institute, a global professional association for advancing the human elements of DevOps, today announced the release of the "Upskilling 2021: Enterprise DevOps Skills Report." In its third year, the report examines DevOps hiring trends around the globe within enterprise IT organizations of all sizes. In addition to DevOps roles, the report examines the top skill domains and associated must-have skills within these domains, which are essential for a successful DevOps journey. Data in the 2021 report is based on research gathered from an open survey of more than 2,000 respondents from organizations of all sizes around the world.

The report is available for download at https://info.devopsinstitute.com/2021-upskilling-report-download

"DevOps Humans remained in-demand, despite a global pandemic that upended our ways of life and business," said Jayne Groll, CEO of DevOps Institute. "This is a testament to the importance and value of DevOps transformations at companies across industries and around the globe. The findings in the 2021 Upskilling Report give us clarity into the evolution of DevOps Humans and how IT organizations will shape their talent-based structures in 2021 and beyond."

The research and data analysis was led by DevOps Institute’s Chief Research and Content Officer, Eveline Oehrlich, with support from Platinum Sponsor, GitLab; Gold Sponsors, CloudBees and The LLPA; Bronze Sponsors, Tricentis and HCL Software; and Media Sponsor, MediaOps.

Key Findings from the ‘Upskilling 2021: Enterprise DevOps Skills Report’ include:

  • Stop talking about being a learning organization and start acting. Seventy percent of survey respondents said that a learning organization was a predominant model–the DevOps way of working–while 45 percent leaned toward a safety culture. And, while 39 percent of IT teams are still struggling with a defined and systematic upskilling program, 52 percent of organizations already have a formally designed upskilling program or are currently developing one.
  • Hiring for DevOps initiatives is high. COVID-19 has not stopped the hiring of DevOps roles. Sixty percent of organizations are recruiting now or in the future.
  • Capabilities and skill development must go hand in hand. DevOps teams must assess which critical capabilities they can perform or not, across key areas. But capabilities must be supported with skilled DevOps Humans. Upon examining the priority domain skill categories, the survey data shows that the essential combination of skills for a successful DevOps human are across the automation, human, technical, functional, process and framework knowledge skill domain categories.  
  • Pressure continues to force old IT operating models to change.  As new forms of hybrid computing are on the rise, it gives application developers more freedom to choose tools and programming languages. As this increases, IT operations teams not yet practicing DevOps feel more pressure to embrace DevOps. 
  • Value Stream Management (VSM) skills are seen by 39 percent of respondents as a must-have skill within the process and framework skill domain. DevOps and Agile practices have been adopted to innovate and create more iterative approaches for software development and delivery. However, the value must come through the customer lens. This is where VSM comes in. In simple terms, understanding and examining value streams of software being delivered end-to-end enables teams to make complex processes visible and provides the ability to pivot towards further value improvement.
  • The adoption of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) as an operating model is 22 percent in 2021 compared to 15 percent in the previous year. SRE is needed to continue automation and reduce toil. Forty-seven percent of the survey respondents voted SRE skills as a must-have skill in the process and framework skill domain this year compared to 28 percent in the previous year’s survey.
  • DevSecOps is a key trend. Security is integral to protect the business and enforce internal and external policies of the company. DevSecOps makes security an equal consideration alongside development and operations. According to survey participants, DevSecOps achieved a must-have percentage vote of 56 percent in the automation tool category.
  • New models such as DataOps and ModelOps are showing up. DataOps was voted by 27 percent as a must-have skill domain in the automation tool skill domain, whereas ModelOps received 22 percent. These new models are shaping the ongoing iterations of DevOps operating models.
  • DevOps Engineers are the most in-demand job title this year. It represents 53 percent of recently recruited DevOps positions. The DevOps engineer’s responsibility might differ from company to company, but all should be engaged in upskilling themselves and their teams.

"Our research shows that the future of DevOps at any organization is dependent upon the breadth and depth of capabilities and the supporting skills of the team members and within the team," said Oehrlich. "A successful DevOps journey (actually any journey) has the DNA of a learning organization which means there is a commitment of continuous learning across all layers and players. Team members have changed their mental models to look at different views working in a collective and collaborative team. For example, problems and mistakes are opportunities to learn. This ability to continuously learn enables individuals and teams to work better together across boundaries regardless of process, team or technology boundaries. This mental continuous learning model will take time to develop, adapt and apply. Still, each individual can bring their skills and abilities to shape the bigger collective effort of DevOps. For everyone in IT, this is an exciting time to unlock your power, abilities and skills to accelerate your DevOps journey and that of your team and company. DevOps Human readiness and organizational learning must take on new importance now and in this next normal."

CFOs in Global Survey Reveal Pandemic Has Fundamentally Altered How They Hire and Manage Their Workforce

– Sixty-five percent of Asia-Pacific respondents indicated that they expect to exceed goals and expectations for 2021, compared to 46% for UK and 47% for North America

– Almost all (94%) of respondents from Asia Pacific have a growth strategy involving expansion into countries where they do not currently operate

– Eighty-three percent of Asia-Pacific respondents said the global pandemic has altered their views on hiring and workforce management, and 89 percent altered their views on a remote work model

– Forty-eight percent of Asia-Pacific respondents said they will attract new talent confined to where they are based while 43 percent said they will attract new talent unbound by geographic restrictions

SINGAPORE and SYDNEY, April 14, 2021 — A large majority of CFOs around the world are planning to expand operations into new countries in 2021 to achieve their long-term growth strategies, according to a recent survey by CFO Research and Globalization Partners. The survey also uncovered changing perceptions about hiring and remote work because of their pandemic experiences, with respondents saying they want to attract talent that is unbound by the geographic restrictions of their company’s operating model.

The February 2021 survey of chief financial officers, chief executive officers and other senior finance executives also cites a common theme that they are prioritising the need to build resiliency and although optimistic, disclose that their businesses are still stabilising and in recovery.

Optimism towards organisational performance in 2021 varies across the regions. Asia-Pacific (APAC) CFOs are more optimistic about success in 2021 than their counterparts in the UK and North America. Sixty-five percent of APAC respondents indicated that they expect to exceed goals and expectations in 2021, compared to 46 percent for UK and 47 percent for North America.

"The ongoing rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, investments flowing into the region, and momentum gained as companies accelerated their digital investments during the pandemic – all these are contributing to positive sentiments toward business in 2021," said Charles Ferguson, General Manager, Asia Pacific, Globalization Partners. "With the ongoing shift in the global supply chain and a renewed focus of the US, UK and EU to grow alliances with APAC markets, there is an abundance of opportunity to expect from this region."

Key data from the survey found:

CFOs are taking a global view within their hiring approaches.
* Asked to describe their hiring strategy over the next 12 to 18 months as, 48 percent of APAC respondents say they will attract new talent where they are based while 43 percent say they want to attract new talent that is unbounded by the geographic restrictions of their company’s operating model.
* APAC CFOs have a high degree of interest in tapping into a more cost-effective, global talent pool—a concept favoured by half of those surveyed –and capturing market share through global expansion, which is favoured by 61 percent.

CFOs have altered workforce management strategies.
* Seventy-four percent of the survey respondents in APAC anticipate operating remote and/ or hybrid workforce models in the next 12 to 18 months.
* Eighty-three percent of executives also say the COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally altered the way they think about hiring and workforce management and 89 percent say it altered how they consider remote employees or the work-from-anywhere model.

CFOs are deeming global expansion as a top priority in the next 12 to 18 months.
* "Implementing a strategy for global expansion and presence" was deemed a top priority in the next 12 to 18 months for 52 percent of APAC executives, compared to 38 percent of the EMEA executives and 36% percent of the North American executives.
*  Fifty-five percent of the APAC CFOs that are expecting to achieve their goals in 2021 are already engaging a global PEO, while 25 percent plan to use a global PEO within one year to support their international business strategy and 17 percent plan to engage a global PEO within three years.

The company over the last 12 months has taken every possible precaution to minimize the impact of the pandemic on its employees’ health and safety. The health and safety framework included rapidly implementing Work From Home (WFH) infrastructure and practices, supporting the families of those affected by COVID-19, ensuring access to emergency medical facilities, and maintaining a cautious approach to its Back To Office (BTO) program.

As a socially responsible company, Microland continues to closely monitor the guidelines being provided by local administrations and has set up a COVID-19 task force that ensures adherence to the advisories, while guaranteeing the highest standards in service delivery to all its customers. Immediately into last year’s lockdown, Microland moved to a 100% WFH model in a record time of 10-days and has ensured that there has been no impact on service delivery and relationship management for every one of its customers across the world.

Srinivasan TR, Chief People Officer, Microland, said "The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how to implement processes that ensured an inordinate commitment to safeguard employee health while sustaining a high quality and consistent customer operations. While companies and their policies are being stress tested by the pandemic, I also believe that the pandemic driven changes will result in better workplace practices and enhanced employee engagement programs. Our decision to underwrite the cost of vaccination is aimed at safeguarding the health of employees and their immediate families, as well as steering towards employee relationships that are more meaningful. It’s a way for us to tell them ‘We Care’."
