Helping a leading academic medical center hire beyond geographic limits. 

A nationally recognized Ivy League-affiliated academic medical center partnered with Yoh to navigate its increasingly remote and specialized workforce. Leveraging Yoh’s EOR solution, the client successfully transitioned and retained key staff outside the core operating area. Our EOR best practices gave the center a flexible framework to manage onboarding, payroll, HR, and compliance for its direct sourced talent network.  

 

The challenge: Multi-state hiring introduced new layers of risk. 

With 39,000+ employees across six hospitals, this higher education institution required specialized infrastructure to move candidates through hiring processes quickly and consistently. Their existing legal, operational, and payroll frameworks weren't designed to support rapid geographic growth given the unique demands of multi-state hiring, risking losing quality talent and even falling out of compliance with state-specific regulations. Moreover, they sought a customized benefits package to create parity among EOR and full-time workers.  


Yoh’s solution: A people-first EOR model built for flexibility. 

Managing the administrative burdens of the client’s active recruiting program is a partnership principle for Yoh. Our program enabled EOR eligibility on a case-by-case basis, ensuring strategic workforce flexibility while maintaining operational and policy control. 

Not only did it boost operational continuity, it created a level playing field for EOR employees with the introduction of a customized and comprehensive benefit package. Our "people-first" approach utilized a repeatable, high-touch onboarding process to transition employees smoothly into the new model without a loss in engagement.


The result: Compliance, continuity, and stronger workforce flexibility. 

To support the client’s evolving workforce needs, particularly in response to the rise of remote work, we facilitated a seamless EOR solution that ensured compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local employment regulations outside the tri-state area. 

  • Talent retention. Facilitated seamless transitions for workers outside the tri-state area, preventing operational disruptions and retaining 100% of key remote staff.

  • Enhanced employee experience. Delivered comparable benefits packages, including retirement and medical coverage, ensuring that EOR workers felt supported and valued.
  • Scalable workforce agility. Provided a flexible framework that allows the client to continue expanding into broader talent markets and effortlessly hire across locations.
