DUBLIN and PARIS and SEOUL, South Korea, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Globalization Partners (G-P), the leading Global Employment Platform that makes it fast, simple, and compliant for companies to hire anyone, anywhere, today announced CFO research that reveals more than seven out of ten CFOs (72%) are concerned about wages rising to stay competitive. Other top challenges include supply chain disruption (29%), talent shortages (23%), and global affairs (18%).

"Expanding into new markets to find both talent and opportunity provides a path forward for continued growth at reduced cost and risk."
The place they want to focus their international expansion efforts: one out of three CFOs (33% in the next 12-18 months and 37% over the next five years) report that the focus of their company's international expansion is the United Kingdom. "This data corresponds with what we are seeing from our customers," continued Nardi. "In fact, we're finding that in addition to the UK being a top geographic area for expansion and to hire talent, we are also seeing that regions for companies to hire hard-to-find technology talent include India, Canada, and Brazil.
The research also found that 78% of CFOs across the globe say holding on to talent is a top concern, and as a result, are offering more flexibility to employees through remote-first and hybrid work approaches. The data uncovered that:
"The opportunity for global expansion is more interesting now than ever," says Nardi. "And now is the time to think differently about how adversity in one market or region may mean opportunity in another and how this type of fresh perspective can help in building a stronger company in the future."
