  • Establish and lead cross-functional working teams without formal authority by setting shared goals, regular operating cadence, and clear accountability across departments.
  • Drive momentum by setting near-term goals, unblocking dependencies, and keeping distributed stakeholders aligned to a single source of truth.

What believers are saying

  • August 26, 2026 MCP Server unlocks enterprise AI workflows for HR and payroll.
  • June 2026 agentic platform automates hiring, onboarding, compliance, and reporting across 180+ countries.
  • December 2024 reseller program broadens reach through Workday, ADP, Paylocity, and SAP partners.

What critics are saying

  • Deel, Remote, and Rippling publish clearer pricing, squeezing G-P's enterprise sales cycles.
  • Rippling's May 2025 filing dragged G-P into the Deel espionage scandal.
  • AI features commoditize EOR; Rippling's broader suite can replace G-P's standalone layer.

  • G-P codes compliance from 14 years of global employment data across 180+ countries.
  • August 2026 MCP Server embeds G-P data inside Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Workday.

G-P delivers compliant global workforce intelligence to enterprise AI tools.

G-P delivers compliant global workforce intelligence to enterprise AI tools. Aug 26, 2026, 08:00 ET G-P's new MCP Server securely connects real-time global employment data and insights to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and existing corporate agentic workflows BOSTON, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - G-P (Globalization Partners), the leader in AI-driven global employment, ranked No. 1 by industry analysts, today announced the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. The new technology enables organizations worldwide to securely stream real-time global workforce data directly into their preferred AI tools, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Cursor and core HR and payroll systems like Workday, ADP, Paylocity and SAP. Global workforce data has historically been fragmented across static databases or isolated behind complex API integrations. Introducing AI into global HR and compliance workflows requires rigorous oversight to navigate international labor laws, privacy regulations like GDPR and localized compliance schemas. The G-P MCP Server solves this challenge by serving as an enterprise-grade, secure bridge between an organization's broader AI ecosystem and G-P's proprietary global employment infrastructure. "AI systems are only as reliable as the data and security guardrails behind them," said GK Konduri, chief product officer at G-P. "With our MCP Server, G-P is enabling true, enterprise-grade agentic workforce management, bringing more than a decade of global HR intelligence and compliance directly into our customers' existing AI environments. Organizations can now build and deploy powerful, compliant agentic HR workflows inside the AI interfaces their teams already use." Powering Real-Time Agentic HR Workflows G-P's MCP Server transforms how global HR and People Operations teams access workforce insights. HR professionals can now interact with international workforce data directly inside their preferred AI interfaces turning static employee databases into instant, strategic workflows, including: * Instant localized reporting: Eliminates hours of manual data aggregation. Simply ask an AI assistant a question such as "Show me a list of EOR employees in Budapest, Hungary with their benefit details" and instantly get a verified table with localized benefit packages and exact costs in local currency backed by G-P deterministic intelligence and local compliance schemas. * Context-aware follow-ups: HR teams can dive deeper into employee records without re-keying data. Natural follow-up prompts like "How much time off does Sarah Jenkins have?" or "What is her benefits enrollment status?" leverage real-time context without requiring low-level API configurations or repetitive prompting. * Automated change management: HR teams can use change request APIs to streamline employee updates, like salary or title changes, by automatically triggering localized compliance workflows powered by G-P's Global Compliance Engine (GCE). * Custom agentic automation: HR operations and People Analytics teams can connect MCP-compatible tools to build tailored HR dashboards, automate routine employee lifecycle tasks and build custom workflows directly within their existing workspaces. Enterprise Governance & Security Architecture Easy to install in any compatible client, the G-P MCP Server ensures high security, data privacy and operational governance across AI interactions: * Human-in-the-loop guardrails: Built-in safety mechanisms automatically re-route high-risk agentic actions, requiring explicit human review and approval to maintain control and accountability. * Deep security design: AI agents may only access specific data payloads that the user is authorized to view, with integrated redaction capability. * Lossless context delivery: Prioritizes complete compliance information delivery with industry leading accuracy and specificity. * Universal interoperability: Operates seamlessly across any MCP-compatible software suite, transforming general-purpose tools into specialized global workforce intelligence engines with a single click. By bridging existing enterprise systems with G-P's deep proprietary global HR, legal and compliance expertise, we continue to set the standard for secure, compliant and scalable global employment.

G-P launches world's first agentic AI global employment platform to automate HR workflows

G-P has launched what it claims is the world's first agentic AI global employment platform, embedding global labour law intelligence directly into HR workflows across the employee lifecycle. The announcement comes as G-P's 2026 AI at Work Report reveals that 73% of executives report underwhelming ROI from initial AI investments. The platform automates tasks including cross-border hiring, contract generation, onboarding, compliance monitoring and reporting across 180+ countries. Drawing on 14 years of global HR and compliance data, the system executes complex workflows autonomously rather than simply providing recommendations. Early customers are reportedly achieving substantial ROI through time savings, reduced billable hours on compliance workflows and increased accuracy. G-P will showcase the platform at the SHRM Annual Conference on 16-19 June 2026, launching its AI in HR Workshop Series.
