The future of HR is being written today, and INS Global was proud to be part of that conversation at this year’s ALL IN 2025 HR Services Expo (ALL IN 2025人力资源服务展) in Shanghai. As one of the most comprehensive HR-focused exhibitions in Asia, this year’s event gathered over 100 leading HR service providers, consultants, and technology innovators under one roof, drawing thousands of HR professionals, corporate executives, and business leaders.
INS Global joined the Expo with our own booth to showcase our end-to-end HR solutions for businesses expanding internationally, from Employer of Record (EOR) services and compliance consulting to recruitment, payroll, and benefits administration. We also engaged in critical discussions with HR experts and decision-makers on how businesses can successfully navigate cross-border employment challenges in a rapidly digitalizing and globalizing world.
A Premier Gathering for HR Innovation
Organized by HREC (Human Resources Excellence Center, 智享会), the ALL IN HR Expo has become a fixture on the HR calendar for companies across Asia. This year’s edition, held at the Shanghai Cross-Border Procurement Exhibition Center, focused on the integrated development of “Digitalization + Globalization” in HR, a theme that perfectly reflects the challenges and opportunities facing global businesses in 2025.
The exhibition floor featured a wide range of solution providers, including:
- HR Technology Innovators, for HCM systems, workforce analytics tools, and AI-driven recruitment solutions.
- Learning & Development Providers, for training programs, leadership development solutions, and e-learning platforms.
- Recruitment & Staffing Agencies, for talent acquisition specialists and recruitment process outsourcing firms.
- Compensation & Benefits Experts, for payroll outsourcing, employee benefits platforms, and compliance services.
- Flexible Workforce Platforms, for gig economy and contingent workforce management solutions.
Alongside the exhibition, more than 130 expert-led sessions and 11 thematic forums provided actionable insights on topics ranging from AI-enabled talent acquisition to global payroll transformation, flexible staffing models, and cross-cultural management.
Meaningful Engagement with HR Leaders
During the two-day event, our team connected with HR professionals, business managers, and decision-makers from diverse industries, all looking to optimize their workforce strategies in China.
Our discussions centered on several key questions that global employers are asking in 2025:
- How can we hire top talent across multiple countries without building local entities?
- What’s the best way to stay compliant with rapidly evolving employment laws?
- How can we balance cost efficiency with a competitive employee experience?
- What role should technology play in automating and simplifying HR processes?
By exploring these questions with attendees, exhibitors from the world of HR, like INS Global, not only shared our expertise but also gained valuable insights into the shifting priorities of HR departments worldwide.
Key Takeaways from ALL IN 2025
- Digital Transformation Is Now Non-Negotiable
Sessions like “AI-Enabled Full-Process Recruitment Efficiency Improvement” highlighted how machine learning, data analytics, and automation are redefining recruitment and HR management. Companies that adopt these tools are achieving faster hiring cycles, better candidate matches, and improved employee engagement.
For this reason, we are actively and constantly integrating the best in new digital solutions into our service portfolio, including global payroll platforms, compliance tracking tools, and digital onboarding systems, all designed to provide clients with greater transparency and efficiency.
- Global Expansion Requires Agile HR Models
As more companies explore new markets in Asia, Europe, and beyond, traditional HR models are proving too slow and costly. The growing interest in EOR and global employment solutions today underscores the need for agile models that allow businesses to enter new regions quickly, hire talent locally, and maintain compliance without heavy upfront investments.
Consequently, our EOR solution continues to be one of the most in-demand services, offering businesses the ability to scale internationally within weeks rather than months.
- Compliance Is Becoming More Complex and More Critical
From China’s evolving data protection rules to new labor regulations in Southeast Asia and Europe, compliance remains a top concern for global employers. Several sessions at the Expo, including “Global Payroll Management for Overseas Enterprises: Change Management and AI Application Practice”, emphasized this importance, offering key insights into aligning payroll, tax, and benefits with local laws.
- Employee Experience Is a Strategic Differentiator
Talent retention remains a pressing challenge worldwide, and forums on employee engagement and benefits were well attended. The interest provoked by this topic reiterated that today’s workforce expects more than just competitive pay: they want flexibility, personalized benefits, and a sense of purpose.
To offer our partners the best possible way to ensure safe and effective employment options worldwide, our compensation and benefits consulting service is, therefore, tailored to meet every compliance requirement and ensure that businesses remain attractive to top talent in every market.
A Word of Thanks
INS Global would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who visited our booth and engaged in meaningful conversations during the event. Your feedback helps us continuously refine and improve our services.
