Ogram, the on-demand digital staffing platform, announced today its first international expansion into Greece. After successfully servicing 1,000+ clients with $8M+ paid out to qualified flexible workers across the UAE, the company is now bringing its operations to the vibrant Greek market.
“Ogram is the perfect fit for Greece because of a thriving hospitality sector that is highly dependent on flexible workers,” said Georgios Kalafatis, General Manager of Ogram Greece. “And yet, one of the biggest problems they face is finding staff, largely due to an over-dependence on the informal economy. it`s offer the solution.”
Ogram’s platform covers everything from vetting to matching, deployment, attendance, and payments. It also includes a first-of-its-kind integration with Ergani (Social Security), which allows businesses to comply with Greek labor laws.
“By streamlining the process to fulfill shifts and match gig workers with jobs, we signed up 5,000 workers and registered over 200 clients within the first weeks of our launch,” said Kalafatis.
Greece is the first step in a wider expansion plan for Ogram. The company is planning to enter other new markets with a focus on regions with a strong hospitality sector, a high dependence on flexible workers, and a competitive average hourly wage.
“The Greek market will serve as a gateway into the rest of Europe, as Ogram embarks on its EMEA expansion plan,” said Shafiq Khartabil, Co-founder and CEO of Ogram. “Greece has long been an adopter of flexible work in hospitality, and is now eager to make it more formal and efficient through our technology-enabled platform.”
Ogram is calling it ‘The New Workforce’ in reference to a new generation of gig workers that have the tools and autonomy to create their own flexible work schedules. For businesses and individuals, Ogram’s seamless digital platform makes flexible staffing more effective and simple.
