Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and nonprofit organizations (NPOs) face unique hurdles when recruiting and hiring international employees.
Working internationally in any capacity, no matter the organization type, means complying with local employment laws, customs, tax codes, employment classifications and more. Compared to private companies, managing a global workforce is even more complicated for NGOs and NPOs. It is increasingly more difficult to survive fines relating to compliance as it impacts budgets but also reputation with current or future funders of the cause – putting the ability to fulfill the mission at risk.
But there are ways to make recruiting, hiring and managing international employees compliant and easier for NGOs and NPOs, which can help you carry out your mission more effectively.
