Empower Singapore businesses to thrive globally with Deel's innovative HR solutions

Advanced HR solutions help businesses hire, follow regulations, and manage employees more easily. This helps them grow internationally. 

Today's workforce is increasingly global and distributed, bringing with it a myriad of compliance requirements and regulations that vary from one country to another. This complexity creates barriers that are difficult to navigate for Singaporean businesses looking to establish their operations abroad.

To help these businesses, new advanced payroll and HR platforms, such as Deel,  offer a streamlined approach to hiring and workforce management.  

With a presence in over 150 countries, Deel provides an all-in-one payroll, HR, and team management platform that enables Singaporean companies to efficiently build, manage, and pay world-class teams across borders in just days, not months. This not only speeds up the hiring process but also makes it easier to understand local employment laws, taxes, and compliance requirements. This makes international expansion faster, simpler, and cheaper. For example, Mobbin, a Singapore-based UI/UX design startup , has fast-tracked over 40 contracts for employee onboarding across 12+ countries worldwide. This lets them hire local workers in any country where they want to grow long before they start a company there. This gives them an advantage.

Streamlining global expansion 

The introduction of Deel AI, a ​​global work assistant powered by AI, helps HR leaders with instant access to vital workforce data to make informed and compliant hiring decisions whilst keeping pace with the evolving job market.

Deel AI is designed to help employees and clients get answers faster and easier. It can quickly answer questions like, “What is the maternity policy in Singapore?” as well as create instant reports directly on-platform, giving organisations a comprehensive view of their people operations in real time.

"The system is trained on data from Deel’s legally-vetted, proprietary global knowledge base, delivering HR professionals answers on everything related to HR, payroll, onboarding, immigration, compliance, and more," said Karen Ng, Head of Expansion, Enterprise, Asia,  at Deel.

Customisable work experiences

Deel's acquisition of Hofy, a leader in delivering devices and equipment anywhere in the world, has significantly enhanced Deel’s IT services and remote device management.

Since the acquisition, Deel has integrated Hofy’s global coverage, in-house infrastructure, and 24/7 industry-leading IT services into its platform to create Deel IT. "Deel customers can now access end-to-end IT services on the Deel platform, alongside our suite of payroll, HR, immigration, and people development tools,” Ng added.

This integration makes it easier to buy, set up, and recover devices across over 130 countries. This helps businesses with teams in different countries work better and more efficiently.

Simplifying the onboarding and offboarding processes, as well as equipment management and compliance unifies IT and HR operations. Companies can now manage both Deel and non-Deel devices with global support for repairs, replacements, and app provisioning with Global Device Lifecycle Management (DLM). Deel IT also offers 24/7 worldwide support. It provides pre-configured devices and security to make sure teams are compliant and a business can manage its systems easily, which is important in today's fast-paced business environment.

As expectations for a work experience similar to the employees' lifestyles and an online and on-demand work environment grow, businesses are committed to providing a seamless and efficient experience for employees.

Featuring fully customisable settings for onboarding, payroll, contract changes, permissions, payment options, and more, Deel offers a seamless experience to work faster, better, and smarter globally. New employees benefit from having their work equipment delivered to them directly before their start date and can easily log in and complete virtual onboarding from any location.

Building a future-ready workforce with AI

The integration of AI in HR practices is rapidly gaining traction, as businesses adapt to the modern workforce. Recent findings from a Deel survey shows that 31% of Singapore businesses are accelerating AI or automation.

Additionally, understaffed HR teams are facing rising demands, with over half report being stretched too thin. To meet these challenges head-on and relieve HR leaders of admin-heavy tasks, Deel has introduced its AI Workforce, an integrated hub to launch, manage and create AI agents across HR, payroll, talent acquisition, finance, and operations. With critical processes and data already living inside Deel, businesses can now streamline workflows, automate approvals, and surface insights in real time. These are not just chatbots, they’re AI agents built to handle real work. Fully embedded in companies’ workflows, they keep business moving seamlessly, with zero setup, configuration, or extra tools needed.

Through its innovative solutions, Deel addresses the multifaceted challenges of international expansion, ensuring compliance, enhancing employee experience, and driving talent retention. As businesses increasingly seek to grow beyond their borders, Deel stands out as the ideal partner in navigating the complexities of the modern workforce.
