Case Study: WRI expands global hiring and cuts costs with Safeguard Global

WRi cuts global hiring costs by 40% with Safeguard Global

WRi, a research-driven NGO focused on reducing global emissions and protecting vulnerable populations, faced the challenge of hiring local policy experts and technical staff in countries where it did not have a legal entity. They needed a compliant way to employ these workers, ensure they received full benefits, and avoid the risks associated with using consultants for long-term projects. WRi partnered with Safeguard Global and used its Employer of Record (EOR) solution, Global Employment Outsourcing (GEO), to address this challenge.

Safeguard Global provided a single point of contact and standardized processes to legally hire and manage WRi's international employees, ensuring full compliance with local labor laws. The solution enabled WRi to seamlessly integrate these workers into its internal systems and offer them the same employee experience as direct hires. As a result, WRi saved approximately 40% on global hiring costs due to the volume of work handled by Safeguard Global and gained the flexibility to strategically expand its on-the-ground workforce across six continents to further its mission.
