Remote Enhancements Enable Customers to Offer Global Mobility and Flexible Employment Packages

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Remote, the leader in building, managing, and supporting global, distributed workforces, today announced platform and service enhancements enabling greater flexibility in where employees work, how they are paid, and more. With thousands of companies now using Remote to employ tens of thousands of employees and contractors around the world, these updates help Remote customers remain competitive when hiring top candidates in the global job market.

“In our latest Global Benefits Report, one in three workers ranked flexibility as one of their top considerations when evaluating job offers. For many, it’s now a make-or-break factor in where they work and whether they stay in their current role,” said Job van der Voort, CEO and Co-Founder of Remote. “We’re constantly working to help our customers attract top talent with world-class employment packages in every country. Those include flexibility, and our latest enhancements mean it’s easier for employees to get paid, live, and work the way they want.”

Global Mobility Services streamlines international relocations
As more companies increase remote work options, international mobility is becoming a differentiating factor in hiring and retaining employees. In Remote’s recent survey, 34% of employees said that relocation assistance is an innovative benefit that they would use if available.

Remote’s new Global Mobility Services give customers a streamlined way to enable employees to relocate to another country by relying on Remote’s experienced in-house team for immigration guidance, pre-employment eligibility checks, and other support. Companies can also use Remote to set up new local employee benefits, issue payroll in local currencies, and avoid potential tax and compliance issues related to international employment.

New, flexible payment options for employees and contractors
Workers employed through Remote now have more flexibility and control over their finances with the ability to split their salaries across multiple bank accounts. This enables employers to offer their employees a new way to budget their money and build savings with automatic deposits. Employees based in the United States can also choose to receive a percentage of their salary in their cryptocurrency of choice without added fees, thanks to an integration with Coinbase, allowing them to skip the step of conversion and maximize their crypto investments.

Remote has also expanded payment options for contractors, giving them the ability to receive payments in non-native currencies in 60+ countries around the world. This means that digital nomads and other global contractors can be paid directly from their employers in their currency of choice without conversion fees, independent of where they or Remote’s customer is based.

Easy contractor-to-employee conversion
Companies can face stiff penalties if a worker is misclassified according to the labor laws in their country of residence. Building on existing features that helps clients assess and manage misclassification risk, Remote now offers a simple playbook for companies to convert their international contractors to employees through Remote’s Employer of Record service.

Employers can tap into Remote’s expertise and experience not only to avoid legal exposure in often-complex situations, but also to evolve the way they work with international talent and offer competitive local benefits and perks that build loyalty. With Remote, companies can now onboard, pay, and transition independent contractors to full-time employees from a single platform.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, financial regulatory intelligence and advisory startup firm Regxelerator is launching its new digital assets regulation navigator. The free interactive intelligence platform provides a comprehensive and structured fact base of the state of play of digital asset regulation on a global scale and comes complete with several key features, including:

• Dynamic dashboards offering insights on the global state of play regarding adoption of digital asset regulation
• Over 115 individual country fact sheets providing a structured view of the approach to digital asset regulation, along with direct access to legislative and other key reference documents
• Thematic benchmarking studies on specific aspects of digital asset regulation
• A news database delivering updates on the latest developments

The platform’s launch comes at a time when digital asset regulation is highly dynamic in nature. Since 2017, more than 60 countries have enacted changes to begin bringing digital assets under the regulatory umbrella – with many actively reviewing their standards in response to lessons learned from the recent market crisis. To date, however, regulatory regimes have remained highly heterogeneous, as evidenced by various levels of scope and emphasis points.

Founder and CEO Jenny Radziwolek stresses that: “Digital asset regulation is at a critical juncture. Greater harmonization in standards across jurisdictions is critical in minimizing the risk of regulatory arbitrage. A thorough understanding of the current baseline is foundational for driving these efforts, as well as identifying current regulatory blind spots and gaps. Regxelerator’s platform seeks to provide a new resource that helps streamline access to fact-based information, which can then help inform the policy dialogue at both a national and global level.”

The platform can be accessed here.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freshworks Inc., (NASDAQ: FRSH), a software company empowering the people who power business, today announced an infusion of artificial intelligence (AI) across its modern, easy-to-use customer experience solutions. Freshworks will host a virtual event on November 9, to demo a variety of new product innovations during its Fall ‘22 Launch.

The collection of updates across the Freshworks portfolio of products is designed to make work easier, more productive and more delightful, with automation that is easy to use and fast to implement through AI that is natively built-in to Freshchat, Freshdesk, Freshsales and Freshmarketer. Product updates include AI-powered support features to help agents improve response times, and embedded AI to help sales and marketers increase productivity and win more business.

According to Aberdeen Strategy & Research, real-time AI helps organizations maximize agent performance, create happy customers and reduce costs — with organizations using AI capabilities achieving a 3.5 times greater increase in customer satisfaction rates.

Conversational AI can also impact the bottom line: “By 2026, conversational artificial intelligence (AI) deployments within contact centers will reduce agent labor costs by $80 billion, according to Gartner®, Inc.¹” Beyond targeting reductions in labor costs, it can also help organizations better serve customers.

A few of the highlights from the Freshworks Fall ‘22 Launch include:

Automated Customer Relationship Management: Powered by Freshsales and Freshmarketer

• Intelligent Lead Scoring enables teams to understand how customers use their products and who might be ready for engagement/additional touchpoints. Built-in AI identifies positive and negative buying signals on the web and in applications, learning from these interactions to provide insights. Users can confidently make data-driven decisions and have more personalized conversations with their customers.
• Social Media Campaigns empower marketers by giving them the ability to engage with their target audience on Instagram and Facebook. Within Freshmarketer, they can schedule and publish social media posts across channels and analyze their performance to build engaging content and generate more leads.

Intelligent Omnichannel Conversations: Powered by Freshchat

• Smart Reply rapidly solves customer issues with AI-powered auto-complete responses, which gives dynamic suggestions to agents as they type responses to customers. Intelligent recommendations are tailored to the user’s last message, the full context of the conversation and the customer’s past buying behavior.
• Email in the Freshchat Inbox empowers agents to have personalized omnichannel conversations with customers and allows businesses to configure their support email addresses and bring emails directly into Freshchat.
• Conversations Widget allows support admin teams to use a single widget to power live chat and self-service AI. The conversations widget supports all Freshchat features and use cases, making it easy to deliver conversational engagement.

AI-Driven Customer Support: Powered by Freshdesk

• Auto Triage feature automatically categorizes, prioritizes and routes the ticket to the right support agent or group, saving agents hours of manual effort, giving them time to focus on solving critical customer issues.
• Integrations with Slack and Microsoft Teams allow for seamless collaboration by empowering support agents with the ability to start conversations on Slack from the Freshdesk Customer Success interface and to use Microsoft Teams to stay updated on assigned tickets quickly.

“One of my favorite things about using Freshworks is the modern, user-friendly and flexible solutions that have revolutionized the service that we’re able to provide to our customers,” said Michael Hopkins, SVP of Sales and Service at Blue Nile. “The new AI-based features allow us to differentiate hot and cold leads and increase our productivity. It’s truly been a game changer for our business.”

“Conversational intelligence across sales, marketing and support is the next step companies must take to unify and personalize the customer experience,” said Prakash Ramamurthy, Chief Product Officer at Freshworks. “Unlike some legacy vendors, we believe business software should empower people, not frustrate them.
