How local personnel determine the success of your expansion abroad

Updated: Apr 28, 2023

When it comes to expanding abroad, a company can expect many hurdles and challenges. One of the most important criteria for success is the ability to find and retain suitable, local and qualified local staff. In this article, we will explore why this is the case and how it can affect the success of your expansion.

First, it is important to understand that each country has its own cultural, legal, and business practices. Without knowledge and experience in these areas, foreign companies may have difficulty establishing their business in a new market. Local personnel with extensive experience and knowledge in these areas can be invaluable.


Another important factor is language. A language barrier can make communication difficult and lead to misunderstandings. In many cases, it is not enough for company employees to be able to speak English. Local employees with excellent language skills in the local language can play an important role here.


In addition to these cultural and language differences, differences in labor laws, working conditions, training and work ethics can also make expansion difficult. Local employees with experience in these areas can help ensure that the company adheres to local regulations and adapts quickly to working conditions.


In addition, knowledge of the local market and customer needs is essential. Local staff can help the company better understand local needs and adapt quickly. This can lead to improved customer satisfaction and thus a better bottom line.


Another advantage of local personnel is that they have already established local networks and relationships. This can be a great advantage when sourcing raw materials, attracting customers, and finding suitable suppliers. Local personnel can also assist the company in establishing contacts with local authorities and regulators, which can contribute to smooth business operations.


As you can see, there are many advantages of local personnel when expanding abroad. However, finding and retaining suitable candidates can be difficult. This is where we come in.

Overall, it is undeniable that suitable local, qualified personnel are a key criterion for the success of an overseas expansion. Without the ability to find employees who have the required knowledge, experience and skills, companies may struggle to establish and grow in a new market.


Even if a company has a well-established business model and a successful strategy, it can still fail if it is unable to find qualified local personnel. This is especially true if the company wants to expand into a new country where there may be difficulties in recruiting qualified employees.


It is important to understand that each country has its own labor laws, regulations and business practices. Without a deep understanding of the local culture and working conditions, foreign companies may have difficulty finding qualified employees capable of supporting their business goals.


Therefore, it is important to have a partner who has the necessary local knowledge and experience to assist in finding qualified personnel. An experienced partner can help companies find the best candidates who are able to support their business goals.


In addition, a partner can also help manage staff. This includes managing payroll and complying with labor laws and tax regulations. An experienced partner can help companies minimize the costs and risks of managing staff and ensure that all regulations and laws are met.


Overall, it is important to have local, qualified personnel on site when expanding abroad. An experienced partner can help companies find the best candidates and ensure that all legal and labor requirements are met.
