Globalization is forcing organizations to rethink how they manage a workforce that spans cultures and countries. A global strategy built on standardization lays a strong foundation for effective, efficient, and consistent workforce management. Your global strategy should focus on key workforce management areas — such as time and attendance, forecasting and scheduling — where standardization can deliver the most value. This is especially critical if your organization is low on the workforce management maturity curve and still relying on manual processes and homegrown systems, which may differ across geographies.
