UKG to Acquire immedis: What it Means & Why it Matters
The Big News This past week workforce management and human capital management technology provider UKG announced its intent to acquire immedis, a current UKG Marketplace integration partner and global payroll technology and services provider. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is presumed to be valued above the $575m valuation immedis reported with its most recent funding round; the deal is expected to close within 60 days. The acquisition news makes perfect sense when you consider UKG’s vision and mantra of “Be the One”: one suite of products + one people-first purpose, and one approach to simplifying how it does business. Given the complexity and criticality of managing an agile global workforce, that vision was incomplete without a globally capable payroll solution […]

Immedis: Memoirs From the Outside Looking In
“The days are long, but the years are short.” ― Gretchen Rubin, New York Times Best-Selling Author Many of us have heard some rendition of this saying. Plenty of us have thought the idea with no prompt whatsoever. The version above encapsulates the concept as good as any and is attributable to acclaimed author Gretchen Rubin, whose work I have not read. Surely her books must be profound. What else is profound? The trajectory of Immedis is. Sometimes, the people you meet when you’re in the thick of starting something new leave an impression that sticks with you. I stopped short of titling this blog post “A Love Letter to Immedis,” because it’s not quite this. Plus, it would be a little bit weird. But […]

Market Alert: UKG Disrupts competitive landscape in Global HCM with Acquisition of Immedis
What Happened In early June 2023, UKG, provider of full-suite software for human capital management, announced its intent to acquire Immedis, provider of global payroll technology and services.

Immedis’ technology and services support global payroll in more than 20 languages across 160 countries. […]

Research Agenda: The 3Sixty Insights Human Capital Management Themes for 2023
Every domain of human capital management (HCM), it seems, has been tinged by fresh attitudes and new charters. As we enter a post-pandemic kind of HCM, we see employers big and small pursuing global employee mobility and chasing an ever better, ever expanding experience for their employees. Entire market niches have seen the demand for them continue to grow rapidly. An apt example, the employer of record (EOR) business model facilitates global employee mobility and can be tantamount to protecting the employee experience as organizations quickly expand globally. Meanwhile, HR’s seat at the table of organizational leadership seems finally within reach as the state of the art of technology for HCM equips HR practitioners (and line managers) with the tools and data they need to […]

Research Note: Global Mobility – Strategize for the Employee Experience and Related Organizational Success
What You Need to Know Traditionally, organizations have expanded into other countries in order to engage with new audiences in new ways and diversify perspectives to meet global demands, among other reasons that could vary from cost control, employee satisfaction and speed to market. What’s less traditional, but has been brewing for years, is the emergence of a borderless workforce. Catalysts precipitating this most viscerally have been advancements in technology to support payroll, compliance, employee communication, hiring, and collaboration across international organizational footprints that are vast. An even greater factor has been so-called economic globalism. In tandem to all this, attitudes over the idea of a borderless workforce have fallen in line, largely in support of the trend. Against this backdrop, the response of employers […]

Immedis Guest Blog Article: Global Payroll Data and its Importance to the CFO and CHRO
As it can be in life, so it can be in business: objectives and charters seemingly unrelated or even at odds with each other can be, as the cliché goes, two sides of the same coin.

And it’s certainly the case in human capital management, as 3Sixty Insights’ concept of concrete and abstract HCM shows.

Recent Research: Research Preview: Where and How Is HCM Best at Improving the Employee Experience? In his research preview, Brent Skinner, co-founder of 3Sixty Insights and lead for the firm’s HCM technology practice, elaborates on his question: Where and How Is HCM Best at Improving the Employee Experience? That everything about HCM is impactful and quantifiable has huge implications vis-à-vis where and how HCM most contributes to negative, neutral or positive employee sentiment, an important measurable expression of the quality of the employee experience. Much of this activity occurs outside HR’s inherent purview, and one implication of this is that most organizational leaders should take HCM seriously and begin practicing it.
