Expand Your Business into Asia: Using an Employer of Record to Navigate Local Labour Laws
11 June, 2025Summary
Expanding your business into Asia offers a significant opportunity, particularly now with an anticipated investment of around US$3.3 trillion in power generation over the next decade and substantial growth in the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) market. However, navigating the complexities of local labour laws and employment regulations can be challenging without a local presence.
In this whitepaper, we provide guidance on the complexities of hiring in Asia. We cover the following key topics:
- Work permit requirements in key Asian countries, including necessary documentation, processing times, and insights on expatriate hiring ratios.
- The benefits of using Movetek as a workforce management tool to optimise your global mobility programme.
- How an Employer of Record (EOR) can simplify market entry in Asia by managing recruitment processes, compliance, and payroll across various jurisdictions.
- How EOR services can help reduce operational costs while maximising flexibility and scalability.
An EOR can help you tap into high-growth energy and engineering markets in Asia, whether for small businesses or multinational corporations.
