The Challenge
In 2023, Inventronics embarked on a strategic decision to acquire OSRAM’s Digital Systems (DS) division in Europe and Asia Pacific. The landmark carve-out deal expanded their product portfolio, enhanced R&D capabilities and boosted their global footprint to serve over 100 countries with products.
However, as with many asset carve-outs, Inventronics faced a pressing challenge. Employees in several countries were at risk of becoming “orphaned workers.” This was due to the absence of existing local legal entities to employ them.
Managing seamless workforce transitions, while meeting local HR requirements, became critical to sustaining business continuity.
The Solution
Inventronics turned to GoGlobal for expertise in handling global HR services and compliance, with specialization in Employer of Record (EOR) hiring.
GoGlobal’s team worked closely with Inventronics’ HR department to create a tailored solution that addressed the needs of cross-border employee transfers. With deep knowledge of local markets, GoGlobal initially facilitated the transfer of some employees across regions. These employees were hired through GoGlobal’s proven EOR solution, with regulatory compliance and cultural integration prioritized throughout the process.
GoGlobal delivered end-to-end support, from transfer planning and legal coordination to talent retention and benefits. The effort seamlessly integrated employees across multiple jurisdictions.
