LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.,
Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health
solutions business of Aon plc, today announced it has acquired
Modern Survey, an employee survey and talent analytics solutions
provider that enables companies to more effectively understand
their workforce and drive business performance by creating an
aggregated, holistic view of the employee lifecycle— from the
candidate experience, new employee onboarding to engagement and
exit interviews.
Aon Hewitt is a global leader in talent and employee engagement,
managing more than 9 million records in employee engagement across
more than 4,500 organizations in 164 countries. This transaction
strengthens Aon Hewitt's suite of workforce analytics solutions,
including business and human capital analytics, employee
engagement, onboarding and exit surveys and 360-degree
feedback. It will enhance Aon Hewitt's technology, reporting
and dashboards that support managers' ability to make decisions and
take action.
"It is increasingly crucial for our clients to attract and
retain top talent, but their strategies in this space are often
limited to stand-alone one-time snapshots of what engages their
workforce," said Michael Burke, CEO
of Talent, Rewards & Performance at Aon Hewitt. "Acquiring
Modern Survey will help our clients move to continuous employee
measurement, aggregated into an intuitive, user-friendly interface,
providing fact-based insights to more effectively drive business
and employee engagement and performance. This acquisition is the
next step in our strategy to partner with our clients to drive
business performance through people."
Modern Survey's team of more than 40 Minneapolis-based
professionals will join Aon Hewitt's current team of nearly 3,000
Talent-aligned professionals, including 350 colleagues in Aon
Hewitt's global Engagement practice. The three Modern Survey
founders, Patrick Riley,
Dan Riley and Don MacPherson, will assume leadership roles in
Aon Hewitt's Talent, Rewards & Performance Practice.
"As the war for talent heats up, companies have to take a more
integrated and global approach to measuring human capital across
the employee lifecycle that goes beyond just an annual employee
engagement survey," said Patrick
Riley, CEO and co-founder of Modern Survey. "The combination
of Aon Hewitt and Modern Survey—with its strong research
capability, fast and nimble technology, depth and breadth of human
capital solutions and global scale—is unmatched in the
marketplace."
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
