      Empower your talent to move

      Global mobility encompasses much more than traditional long-term assignments. We offer flexible solutions that support you globally in the management of the entire lifecycle of working abroad.

      Short-term project work, international business travel, multi-country employment scenarios, and cross-border remote work all require careful planning and coordination. Even a few days of work abroad can result in unexpected paperwork and navigating complex visa and work permit processes.

      The success of permanent transfers always requires careful planning, whether the destination is Finland or another country. Personal taxation, work permits, social security considerations, and other logistical factors must be addressed in advance. This ensures your business can adapt quickly to changing circumstances without unexpected complications.  

       We take care of everything from work permits and assignment agreements to settling in. In addition, we can make cost estimations and address salary issues so that the transfer abroad goes smoothly from start to finish.
