Case Study: KBR achieves streamlined global operations and faster market entry with Global Expansion

How KBR Overcame EOR Challenges with Global Expansion

KBR, a global science, technology, and engineering firm with ~34,000 employees across 33 countries, faced major Employer of Record (EOR) challenges: poor service, communication gaps, invoicing problems, and long hiring delays (one ex‑pat had been waiting six months). The Director of Global Mobility concluded a new provider was needed and engaged Global Expansion (GX) for its EOR expertise, global reach, and ability to meet tight, project‑based deadlines.

Global Expansion implemented a rapid transfer strategy, expedited professional entries, introduced a flat‑fee model for budgeting, and deployed a single technology platform plus a dedicated single point of contact. GX’s work resolved long‑standing cases (including the six‑month entry delay), improved employee and stakeholder experience, increased visibility and cost transparency, and streamlined time‑to‑deploy for projects in locations such as Italy, Spain, and Africa.
