Providing International Human Resources Solutions

ERL's mission is to provide living and working abroad information, consulting services and client support globally from the Americas.

We have the resources and know-how to satisfy the enormous demands placed upon the human resources function. Our principals, Gary Parker and Rob Newton, are seasoned human resources professionals qualified in the art and science of empowering people and organizations to create maximum productivity, quality, opportunity, and fulfillment as they work to achieve common business goals. We offer a personalized service to a diverse client base, which includes Fortune 500 companies, Big 4 accounting firms and many small to medium sized businesses. One of our principals will always perform or directly oversee your work.

Our reputation rests upon getting the people part right - strategically applying and integrating global knowledge into each client's business functions to create human resources systems and processes that drive organizational success. We believe that human resources strategies are inextricably linked to business strategies.

We have the capability of assisting your firm by providing the best approach for recruiting, training, motivating, retaining, and compensating employees in a manner that satisfies performance expectations, locally and internationally.

ERL conducts annual compensation and benefits surveys in over 125 countries covering employees, professionals, managers, executives, and directors. Our extensive database contains data from over 4,000 participant companies around the world.

We also conduct custom "Club" surveys throughout the world. ERL provides a turn-key custom solution to our clients, using our propitiatory Internet and database technologies to collect and deliver the data. Our system and experience allows us to provide these services at a fraction of the cost of our competitors. The result is more meaningful and accurate data, delivered at an extremely competitive rate.

Meeting the challenge of sourcing, motivating, and developing employees in the new global village will be the cornerstone of business success in the twenty-first century. While most organizations have not anticipated the resources required to meet this challenge, one thing is certain: globalization does not mean applying homogenous human resources solutions in a pluralistic world.

Apart from being a preeminent global research organization, ERL offers a wide variety of consulting services that include:

• developing human resources policies and practices for achieving business strategies
• turn-key outsourcing services
• expatriate assignment management
• providing strategic reward plans for motivating high performance
• aligning corporate culture and values with global business strategies
• providing tactical support to under-resourced human resources functions
• advice and counsel relative to the design of organizations to satisfy business objectives
• relocation services in over 500 countries worldwide

ERL is lead by principals Gary Parker and Rob Newton.
