on

G-P Gia™ instantly provides context-specific HR and legal guidance and actionable documents in over 50 countries and all 50 U.S. states to cut cost and time of compliance by up to 95%

BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — REMOTE FIRST COMPANY – Nov. 12, 2024 − G-P (Globalization Partners), recognized by industry analysts as the undisputed leader in global employment, today introduced G-P Gia, the world’s first AI-based global HR compliance advisor. Powered by G-P’s proprietary knowledge base that combines more than a decade of global employment expertise with cutting-edge AI technology, Gia revolutionizes HR, cutting the cost and time of compliance by up to 95%.

“With Gia, G-P is closing a major gap in global and cross-border workforce planning and organizational readiness by delivering new workforce legal compliance automation,” said Zachary Chertok, senior research manager for employee experience, IDC. “Gia bridges the gap between HR and legal teams, supporting HR to efficiently and accurately move through global and continuous workforce planning, scenario modeling and organizational decision making. Drawing on G-P’s legacy in global EOR, Gia empowers HR to drive more agile decisions and outcomes by automating workforce legal compliance checks for global business change, scale, geographic expansion and M&A.”

With Gia as a trusted HR compliance advisor, companies can efficiently and compliantly navigate the complexities of global employment and reduce reliance on costly consultants. Gia provides context-specific answers to the toughest questions and can draft and edit documents like employment policies, contracts, handbooks and more. At launch, Gia delivers expertise in over 50 countries and all 50 U.S. states, with the plan to extend expertise to more than 180 countries. Gia harnesses the expertise of G-P’s hundreds of HR, finance and legal professionals, to provide up-to-date, accurate and reliable information, advice and solutions across the employee lifecycle.

“When I started G-P and created the employer of record (EOR) industry more than a decade ago, my vision was to create a fast and easy way for companies to hire anyone, anywhere,” said Nicole Sahin, founder and CEO, G-P. “We changed the way the world did business by launching an industry. Now we’re doing it again, by putting the best of the world’s global HR advisors at our clients’ fingertips.”

Sahin continued, “When it comes to global HR matters, the complexity is vast and accuracy is crucial. Customers need guidance they can trust, not only for the black-and-white law, but also for the tactical way HR specialists get things done on the ground, country by country. We developed G-P Gia with our proprietary knowledge base and deep expertise in AI to uniquely solve complex problems, mitigate risk and reduce the need for HR organizations to depend on manual processes or external consultants – yet retain the human touch. Built for the next era of HR, Gia will forever change the future of work.”

Gia automates complex tasks and guides HR professionals to manage: 

Talent Acquisition: Manage the detailed requirements for hiring across multiple countries. For example, if a customer based in the U.S. needs to hire an employee in Germany, Gia will provide all of the local context about compliance concerns and best practices to:Develop a compliant job descriptionDraft a locally-compliant offer letterDraft or analyze the proposed employment contractHighlight key legal compliance requirementsTranslate all materials into local language

HR Administration, Policy Creation and Communications: Automate time-consuming tasks, create compliant compensation and benefits recommendations and develop and update company policies, employee handbooks, performance review templates, etc. For example, if a customer learns that the maternity law in an employee’s state is changing, Gia knows all about new policies and can:Analyze the existing policySuggest draft amendments for compliance and HR standardsDraft training and communication plans for existing employees

Immigration Guidance: Provide the appropriate immigration, work authorization and tax requirements, simplifying the process for global hires. For example, if an employee is relocating from the U.S. to Japan, Gia can:Offer detailed insights on global mobility, including employment laws, tax regulations and benefitsProvide guidance on how to find and obtain the required visas

Offboarding/Termination: Minimize legal, financial and operational risks that could arise from non-compliance on termination procedures. For example, if a customer needs to part ways with an employee in France due to a role redundancy, Gia understands the local employment laws and will:Analyze the existing employment contract and make recommendationsOutline the country-specific employment law requirements like notice, protections, termination reasons and moreAnswer nuanced HR questionsCalculate the redundancy paymentDraft the termination letter

G-P’s long-term investment in AI, coupled with more than a decade of legal and HR expertise, ensures that Gia is always up to date with the latest global compliance standards, giving users the confidence to make informed decisions when building and managing global teams. G-P’s unique, patent-pending approach integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with Knowledge Graphs, diving deep into data and providing nuanced and relevant insights that go beyond surface-level information.

“In a market where many are content to simply use AI, we’re inventing it,” said Nat Natarajan, chief product and strategy officer, G-P. “Gia is more than an AI tool—it’s a breakthrough, representing a significant leap forward in the AI field. We are pioneering the integration of LLMs with Knowledge Graphs to extract rules from unstructured text, ensuring we deliver accuracy and nuance while protecting against hallucinations. The combination of our over 10 years of transactional compliance data and human expertise, along with our AI technology, is uniquely ours and it cannot be replicated.”

Department of Health – Abu Dhabi and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center collaborate on cancer research and personalized prevention

Published

By

ABU DHABI, UAE, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH), regulator of the healthcare sector in the emirate, together with the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC), today announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch), one of the world’s leading cancer research institutions and home to three Nobel laureates.

By pairing Abu Dhabi’s unified clinical and genomic data infrastructure, sovereign AI capabilities and governed data environments with Fred Hutch’s globally renowned research engine, the ensuing collaborations will pave the way to shortening the distance between scientific discovery and patient benefit, for Abu Dhabi’s community and beyond.

Among the projected collaborations, the two organizations will consider leveraging Abu Dhabi’s intelligent health system, and layering Fred Hutch’s world-class science onto the secure, high-quality, real-world data foundation Abu Dhabi has built. That foundation includes the emirate’s pioneering liquid biopsy programme launched last year, one of the first national-scale efforts of its kind anywhere in the world. Alongside Abu Dhabi’s AI multi-cancer early detection work, and the world’s largest clinically integrated population-scale genomics programme – with nearly one million genomes sequence.

During his visit to the center, HE Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansoori, Chairman of DoH commented: “Cancer is one of the defining health challenges of our time, and progress depends on combining world-class science with population-scale data, advanced AI, and research. In Abu Dhabi, we have built an AI-enabled health system that ‘cares before it cures, delivering prevention at population scale. We are already achieving some of the highest early cancer detection rates in the world, and through our partnership with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center we are committed to bringing breakthroughs to people in Abu Dhabi and beyond.”

“This MOU between Fred Hutch Cancer Center and the Abu Dhabi Department of Health underscores the power of working together to prevent and treat cancer,” said Thomas Lynch Jr., MD, president and director of Fred Hutch and holder of the Raisbeck Endowed Chair. “Our organizations share a deep commitment to research and to provide the highest levels of cancer prevention, diagnosis and care to our communities, and we are excited to bring our expertise, tools and datasets together to identify unique approaches to cancer care and research in pursuit of our boldest goals.”

Delivering profitable growth

Group TTV increased to €3.8bn in the first half, up +17% at constant currency. TTV contribution increased from shorter lead-time bookings, Third Party Supply and Online Travel Agents.

Revenue of €309m, increased +1% in constant currency. Take rate was 8.2%, down 1.3ppts year‑on‑year.

Net finance costs were €35m, 77% lower than the prior year. The tax charge was €16m. Adjusted Earnings were €83m, up +44% at constant currency.

Delivering commercial milestones in line with strategy

Commercial progress in H1 2026 reflected HBX Group’s strategy to expand its global travel ecosystem and drive profitability through AI-driven operational efficiency and commercial performance. Key developments included new distribution partnerships in Asia-Pacific, acquisitions such as Bridgify and PerfectStay to strengthen experiences and dynamic capabilities, and new platform and fintech initiatives.

HBX group also continued embedding AI across products and operations, including AI-powered solutions for Bedsonline and HotelTech, while scaling internal AI agents already delivering measurable savings and supporting more than 120 identified use cases, reinforcing the Group’s connected B2B travel ecosystem strategy.

Regional performance and trading dynamics

TTV grew in double-digits in all three regions, up +18% in the Americas and +16% in both MEAPAC and Europe, at constant currency.

In Europe, TTV growth was supported by strong intra‑regional and domestic travel. Asia Pacific up +18%, partly offset by slower growth in the Middle East and disruption on some Europe-Asia corridors. In the Americas, TTV was predominantly driven by domestic demand.

Middle East impact and near‑term outlook

Since late February, the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East has impacted travel demand across affected destinations and selected international corridors, resulting in increased volatility, shorter booking windows and reduced near‑term visibility. The impact of this on H1 Group TTV growth was approximately 1ppt.

HBX Group implemented dynamic pricing, inventory reallocation and active partner support. Demand outside affected corridors has been more resilient.

Cost discipline, cash generation and capital allocation

Underlying operating costs fell by 5%. Performance was supported by productivity initiatives, automation and AI.

On a last 12-month basis, Operating Free Cash Flow was €447m, with cash conversion of 103% over the last 12 months. Adjusted Net Debt at 31 March 2026 stood at €741m.

Outlook

The Group started FY26 with strong performance. Since late February, trading conditions have been adversely impacted by the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and broader geopolitical uncertainty.

The Group has revised its FY26 guidance. Updated outlook reflects a -4ppt effect of the Middle East conflict on TTV growth. Assumes four months of disruption with gradual stabilisation.
