The Challenge
The next step for Sarine is promoting its new services including AI lab services, traceability solutions, and retail solutions. China no doubt is one of the key markets to focus on.
Although Sarine has authorized distributors in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China and its products served these markets for more than 10 years, the company needed qualified personnel who base in China, knew the Chinese market to promote the new services and solution and enhance the brand awareness locally so that they could solve problems and find new opportunities effectively and efficiently.
As Sarine has no entity in Mainland China, the biggest challenge for Sarine at that time was finding an effective method of hiring local employees and complying well with local laws and regulations related to employees’ taxes, salaries, and benefits.
The Solution
Sarine knew it would benefit from working with a local partner expert with laws and regulations regarding HR.
The solution adopted was that of the PEO service. This solution was perfectly in line with what Sarine wanted, as it allowed the company to hire employees even without having a company in China. Not only was the solution perfect for recruiting employees for the business in China, but also for everything related to payroll, benefits, taxes.
In this way, HROne took care of the entire recruitment and payroll process, allowing Sarine to focus on the communication with the employees and on business growth.
The Outcome
After the first contact with Sarine, HROne demonstrated high competence about the labor laws in China and professionalism in providing support and clarifications for the management and the employees in China.
Thanks to the cooperation between Sarine’s APAC HQ and HROne, Sarine successfully set up a local team in Mainland China to manage relationships with retailers and customers. The company is continuing to grow its brand identity in China and growing the network of retailers, while HROne is managing employment relationships, and payroll providing timely communication in case of new policy updates and being the point of contact between employees in China and the headquarter in Sarine APAC HQ.
