Relay offers staff hosting (immediately available talent), enterprise transition (opening your own international office), and consulting services (best practices for international teams). We build first-class offices in cities around the world, set up local legal entities that act as the employer of record, and helps recruit and vet talent. We handles all the administrative and compliance aspects of having an employee, while our customers direct the actual work performed of their Relay hires. We also provides company culture, employee engagement activities, and coaching and support to help keep international team members happy and productive.

Expanding globally gives companies access to exceptional individuals and new pools of talent with differing regional labor costs. With improvements in technology and collaboration platforms, companies can do incredible things by working globally. Those that stay beholden to physical proximity will miss these opportunities and fall behind their competitors.

By spreading work across multiple time zones, companies can reduce turn-around times and make sure that things are getting done even when certain teams are not working. Local-only companies waste as much as 75% of the day, so using more of it can have a huge impact on productivity and possibility for a company.

Yes, companies can realize material savings by locating work in areas where it can be done effectively at market rates that are relatively lower. Companies that provide opportunities in those places free up resources to invest in other parts of the business.

Adding international support teams relieves the pressure on local staff. They can focus on higher-yield activities and also enjoy their personal time knowing that work is continuing in their absence. Providing support and a safety net to the local team makes a noticeable difference in their work-life balance and workplace engagement.

In an outsourcing model, the service provided is finished work. Relay’s Staff Hosting service puts the customer in direct contact with its remote team, with the remote workers becoming part of the customer’s team and culture.

Freelancers are easy to find and provide a direct connection to a customer, but the model is highly unstructured, risky, and difficult to scale. Relay provides a healthy office culture and promotes involvement and interaction, helping people feel a sense of connection at work.

Setting up your own overseas operation requires significant resources. Recruiting and managing staff, dealing with local compliance, labor laws, holidays, benefits, and the many requirements of operating effectively require significant resources. Relay spreads all this work across multiple clients, making it much easier to begin and maintain your international journey.
