This partnership powers a comprehensive solution that automatically identifies upcoming travel that may create compliance risk by launching an assessment powered by leading immigration logic which triggers downstream immigration and regulatory fulfillment. This provides organizations with a comprehensive view of pending, active, and post employee travel as well as remote work and assignments.
The deployment of talent across borders has become increasingly complicated due to events like Brexit and the EU Posted Workers Directive. The complex and shifting regulatory landscape creates compliance gaps for organizations lacking the means to proactively monitor their distributed workforces. Remote workers, international business trips, assignments, and relocations can trigger tax, social security, and other employment-related obligations. Organizations that fail to keep track of these mobile employees face significant financial penalties and reputational risk.

Topia solves these problems by gathering and analyzing travel booking and other location data to proactively identify upcoming travel that may require action by the employee or employer. Topia’s partnership with CIBT brings together two industry leaders, empowering businesses to manage risk and prevent issues before they occur.
“We are excited to partner with the market-leading solution for managing business travel and remote employee risk to solve the challenges associated with employee mobility,” shared Eric Scheinerman, President & CEO at CIBT. “Our shared clients will benefit from knowing that all employee movement is being screened for compliance risk, minimizing the potential for non-compliance” added Steven Diehl, Global Managing Director at Newland Chase.
