[Global] Remote partners with Kota to launch global benefits solution

The global HR platform and payroll provider Remote has unveiled Remote Global Benefits, a solution which allows companies to access and manage multi-country health insurance plans without leaving the Remote platform, Business Wire reports.

The integration - powered by Kota’s infrastructure and insurer network - eases the burden of handling the selection, enrollment and administration of compliant local health benefits for company’s distributed teams without navigating complex international benefits landscapes.

Managing employee benefits across borders can be a fragmented, complex, broker-led challenge for multinationals. HR leaders often have to deal with the arduous task of managing globally competitive benefits across many jurisdictions, each with different regulations and laws, while synchronising benefits with payroll. 

Remote Global Benefits reportedly integrates Kota’s benefits solution to save HR leaders time and energy and save businesses time and money by automating benefits administration, reducing manual tasks and eliminating broker fees.

Remote Global Benefits lets customers easily browse and select plans from local providers, instantly enrol team members and automate administrative tasks such as tax reconciliation and payroll deductions; fully integrated into their payroll workflow. The solution provides companies with teams across multiple countries, or those expanding into new regions, an efficient way to offer the competitive, localised benefits necessary to attract and retain talent.

Remote’s Global Benefits Report revealed that 60 per cent of employees consider benefits a deciding factor when choosing between job offers and nearly 80 per cent of companies see improved retention after enhancing their benefits packages. By integrating benefits into the payroll system, Remote’s platform offers a seamless solution to save HR teams time and effort while meeting employee expectations across borders.

Luke Mackey - Co-Founder and CEO of Kota - said, “Managing employee benefits across multiple countries has traditionally been a complex, outdated process entangled in paperwork, costing companies money, time, and morale. At Kota, we saw an opportunity to break away from this approach by creating a streamlined, digital-first solution for modern businesses. Our vision is to empower companies to offer world-class benefits with just a few clicks, creating a seamless experience for both HR teams and employees. Remote, a global innovator, shares this vision of a tech stack that empowers rather than hinders workforces.”

Iarla O'Carroll - Chief Operating Officer at Remote - said, “The launch of Remote Benefits for payroll is a significant milestone for both current and prospective customers. Two common challenges companies face when expanding internationally are sourcing locally competitive benefits and synchronizing them with payroll. This partnership with Kota enhances our ability to streamline benefits management, making it easier than ever for companies to deliver top-tier employee experiences while ensuring integration with local payroll systems and full compliance. Given the vital role benefits play in recruitment and retention, this partnership enables our customers to expand globally with confidence, supporting their teams' well-being and success as they enter new markets.”
