Alight completes acquisition of NGA HR

Alight Solutions has announced the complete acquisition of NGA Human Resources.  The combined organization will bring an enhanced level of technological capabilities, functional expertise and geographic reach across benefits, payroll and HR solutions to its global client base.

Chris Michalak, CEO of Alight, shares, “The future of payroll is changing. People want to be paid quickly, accurately and in a way that’s most desirable to them. And at the same time, companies are juggling the complexities of global payroll delivery and compliance.”

He further shares “Together, Alight and NGA will change the way organizations think about payroll. We will innovate faster and bring the best of both companies’ cutting-edge products and ideas to our customers to improve the way payroll is delivered and help companies meet these challenges head on.”

On this acquisition, Andy Monshaw, CEO of NGA HR shares, “We are thrilled to join Alight and create a true leader in global payroll and cloud solutions. Our complementary capabilities and platforms will provide our clients with a powerful combination of products, solutions and expertise.” 

With this acquisition, Andy Monshaw will report to Chris Michalak and sit on Alight’s executive leadership team. 

To upscale its payroll capabilities further, last month, Alight also announced the creation of Eloise, an intelligent virtual assistant that will drive payroll. Deploying a patented AI algorithm, Eloise analyzes historic pay data to detect, classify and correct anomalies, and through machine learning, she can continuously glean information from past anomalies that will inform future predictions.

Recently, Alight has also partnered with People Matters to conduct a comprehensive study on how the HR function is gearing up for changing business expectations and getting ready to deliver outcomes in an era that is dominated by employee experience, rapid business model changes, effective adoption of digital and maturing data science.
