Partnering with G-P to drive global expansion
In 2023, Strada, which was part of Alight Solutions at the time, embarked on a journey aimed at expanding its core global payroll offerings. Strada opted to work with an Employer of Record (EOR) provider to ensure compliance with local laws, while enabling seamless global hiring in these regions without handling complex entity setup. Strada turned to G-P for an enhanced solution to support its global growth.
A year later, Alight announced the strategic carve-out of its payroll and professional services business, which launched as an independent company named Strada in mid-2024. Given Strada’s global reach, it continued its partnership with G-P. As a new company, Strada needed to hire payroll specialists swiftly and compliantly with local expertise in markets like Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Greece, Morocco, Norway, Panama, Peru, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Taiwan. Without legal entities in these regions, Strada required a flexible hiring solution, which G-P provided.
Today, Strada relies on G-P EOR Prime™, G-P’s premium and most powerful EOR package, to compliantly hire, onboard, and manage its global teams.
“We chose G-P because of their flexibility and expertise in handling our global hiring needs. We needed a partner who could help onboard and manage our diverse team across multiple regions with challenging employment regulations. G-P's global presence made them the ideal solution for our dynamic workforce.

Enhancing the onboarding process and ensuring smooth operations
Partnering with G-P has delivered a multitude of benefits for Strada, notably reducing onboarding time — a critical advantage when entering new markets and driving successful global business operations.
“G-P transformed our onboarding process. What used to take three months is now completed in less than one week, allowing us to quickly integrate new team members and expand into new countries without delay.

“With G-P, we’ve achieved reliable accuracy in payroll,” concluded MacDonald-Dodin. “There have been no overpayments or underpayments, which has eliminated any need for corrections or escalations from team members. G-P’s EOR solution ensures no disruptions in payroll accuracy or employee satisfaction. Their fast onboarding process has been instrumental in maintaining our operational momentum.”
In addition to G-P serving Strada’s own needs, G-P and Strada partner to provide a comprehensive EOR and global payroll solution, delivering exceptional value to joint customers. As Tim Johnson, Sales Commercial Operating Officer at Strada, concluded, “This collaboration simplifies global workforce management and payroll, ensuring compliance and efficiency.“
