Intelligent Chip Design Meets Intelligent Growth Strategies

During the 16 years TSM has handled US immigration for Synopsys its foreign national workforce has grown 300%. Driven by M&A transactions around the world, Synopsys relies on TSM for an analysis of the strategic impact on immigration, due diligence related to immigration, and a seamless integration of the target company’s workforce as they become Synopsis employees.

Good Communication Guides Smarter Hiring
When TSM took on immigration matters for Guidewire, a software maker for the insurance industry, we immediately set about fixing long-standing communication issues and addressing a lack of transparency between foreign nationals and counsel. To open lines of communication, ensure good representation, and keep foreign national employees up-to-date on their immigration process, TSM held forums, town halls and one-on-ones with all employees. The programs we put in place were so effective we continue them to this day, on a regular basis. At TSM, we keep the lines of communication open and are always available.
