Topia Unveils Innovations to Help Companies Maintain Agility, Prioritize Employee Experience in Fast-Changing Business Climate
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Topia, the leader in Global Talent Mobility, today announced a series of new innovations across its comprehensive global talent mobility platform that address the real-time needs of companies in managing remote and distributed workforces. The new capabilities in its Compass and Plan solutions not only help organizations streamline workforce planning and save money, but also provide efficient, transparent tools that help them maintain agility and deliver a better employee experience in a fast-changing environment.
"So many companies are struggling to manage the realities of a distributed workforce. Traditional approaches can be extremely complex and costly, and most solutions are a 'black box'--users have no idea what's going on under the hood and whether they should trust the output," said Topia CEO Shawn Farshchi. "Without the right tools, organizations will face additional headaches as remote work becomes a mainstay and business travel returns later this year. That's why we're tackling this problem head-on by offering simple, transparent tools that streamline distributed workforce management at a time when companies need it most."
New Topia Compass Capabilities Save Time & Money in Managing New World of Work
With remote work making mobile workforces the norm rather than the exception, and business travel resumption on the horizon, Topia Compass now offers two new real-time solutions that reduce unnecessary costs while maintaining tax and legal compliance:
-- City-specific location monitoring allows companies to lower their
municipal tax burden while employees are working remotely. By logging
employees' actual working locations, Topia customers have already saved
millions of dollars in unnecessary tax payments with documented,
defensible data to demonstrate compliance and avoid audits.
-- Pre-Travel Assessment module that automatically detects and alerts any
travel that may require immigration, social security or posted worker
documentation. It then integrates directly with immigration/tax logic to
assess employee travel and other services to complete necessary
compliance tasks. This capability saves time, streamlines the pre-travel
workflow, and reduces compliance risk. The new module allows
organizations to access a complete view of pending, active and completed
travel. This capability is especially critical in Europe, now that
Brexit is complete and governments are less likely to forgive
infractions.
New Topia Plan Tools Support Agility & Employee Experience
The fast-changing business environment also requires companies to make agile business decisions with clear insight into potential outcomes. But most traditional methods of workforce planning are days-long, cumbersome processes completed by outside consultants with proprietary methods that cost a lot and keep companies in the dark. The outputs are then difficult to digest by non-mobility stakeholders. Organizations have neither the time nor budget for this as they prioritize economic recovery in the wake of COVID-19. The new solutions added to Topia Plan to support these organizations include:
-- Rapid Cost Simulation module democratizes workforce planning and saves
money by putting the power to make rapid decisions in the hands of
business users. In just a few simple steps, managers can run scenarios
to see the impact of deploying talent on a permanent or temporary basis
and simulate various options. Topia's scalable solution gives business
users instant access to the answers they need, shortens the process from
days to just minutes and saves potentially hundreds of thousands of
dollars in third-party outsourcing costs.
-- Compensation Worksheets Tool reimagines the compensation planning and
communication process with a first-of-its-kind solution that enables HR
to calculate, update and communicate compensation clearly in a dynamic,
app-based experience. The interactive tool eliminates spreadsheet tab
overload and gives employees and managers intuitive and easy-to-digest
visuals that bring clarity and transparency to mobility compensation,
simplifying the employee experience.
"Now more than ever, organizations need simple solutions and clear answers in order to navigate these uncharted waters," Farshchi said. "No matter what comes next, you can count on Topia to be there with smart workforce management tools that empower companies to keep pace, maintain compliance, and reduce costs."
