About

WorkMotion is a Berlin-based, remote-first global HR platform that helps companies hire, manage, and pay international employees and contractors without needing to set up local entities. The company positions itself as a technology and compliance partner, combining a platform experience with legal, HR, and payroll expertise to remove the complexity of cross-border employment. Founded during the COVID-era shift to remote work, WorkMotion was created to address a major challenge for European businesses: talent shortages and the compliance burden of employing people across different jurisdictions. The company’s platform supports the full talent lifecycle—from onboarding and contract generation to payroll, expenses, PTO, contract changes, and offboarding—while aiming to keep customers compliant with country-specific labor and tax rules. WorkMotion emphasizes compliance leadership and claims to operate an owned entity network rather than relying on third parties. It highlights third-party validation and certifications, including being the only EOR provider stated to be IEC compliance-certified with Gold Certification, alongside claims such as audited compliance categories and validated labor leasing licenses. The company also promotes integrations with common HR systems, a partner ecosystem (e.g., HRIS and benefits providers), and an in-house AI assistant (“Wanda”) designed to help HR teams navigate country-specific HR and labor law questions with privacy and trust standards inside the WorkMotion ecosystem.
