Alight acquires ReedGroup, financial terms not disclosed

Alight announced it has acquired ReedGroup, an expert in leave management solutions from The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. Alight’s platform strategy, underpinned by Alight Worklife is focused on improving the employee experience while driving measurable outcomes for companies and their people. The acquisition of ReedGroup builds upon Alight’s strategy to support employees and their dependents from hire through retire by adding new content, capabilities and products that have the power to change the way that people interact with HR, their benefits and their employer to power more confident decisions for life. "Combining the strength of ReedGroup with Alight’s full breadth of capabilities will create a more effective leave experience for both employers and employees," said Andre Walton, executive vice president, insurance solutions at Alight. "When Alight supports workers through their leave with clinical guidance and expert second opinion services and more, we can help workers care for their health and wellbeing during their time on leave and return to work with a thoughtful eye towards improving outcomes for workers and for their employers."
