The company aims to strengthen its position as a key player in HR transformation, focusing on its three business lines: Advise, Implement, and Outsource. The Outsource business, particularly Employer of Record (EOR) solutions, is a major growth driver. HR Path partners with leading HR software vendors including SAP, Oracle, Workday, Dayforce, and UKG.
