International Benefits Case Study #2

A Nashville-based retail company has international operations in 10 countries. The benefit programs in these countries have been managed by local HR representatives with very little oversight from the HQ Benefits group. In recent years, the cost of these benefit programs has increased significantly. Questions are being asked by the VP of Human Resources regarding the cost efficiency as well as the overall global governance associated with these programs.

An Atlanta-based textile company acquires a company with a small manufacturing facility in Mexico.
