Companies combine to accelerate the development of product, service and technology offerings and bolster in-market expertise
AUSTIN, TX – April 30, 2019 – Safeguard Global
, a world leader in driving long-term growth
through constant innovation of global workforce deployment for businesses,
today announced it has agreed to acquire Europe-based WorkFor Group, which
includes WorkFor, an employment outsourcing capability, and AdminMe, a global
payroll processing capability. The acquisition will combine Safeguard Global’s
best-in-class payroll and employment outsourcing services with a number of
WorkFor and AdminMe products and technologies, including enablement processes
for expansion, gross-to-net engines in a variety of countries, time and
attendance and payroll/workflow capabilities, as well as key talent across
Europe.
Many companies’ expansion and growth has been stunted by trying to manage
human capital assets — from finding and deploying talent, to adhering to legal
and taxation compliance, to paying them on time. Safeguard Global, WorkFor and
AdminMe will join forces to further solve these challenges by providing global
workforce deployment products and technologies that mitigate risks, automate
processes, and empower business to globally grow and scale in a timely,
compliant way.
“Exponential technological advancement has made global markets accessible to
businesses of all sizes,” said Bjorn Reynolds, Founder and CEO of Safeguard
Global. “If you’re not thinking about expanding your business internationally,
you’re probably behind. For more than 10 years, Safeguard Global has been
empowering companies to scale, grow and thrive globally. That’s why this
acquisition is so exciting for us — it allows us to take a giant leap forward
in our vision for advancing the way multinational companies manage human
capital assets, while deepening our in-market expertise in the European market
and delivering an even higher level of customer service moving forward.”
“Our mission has been simple — to help businesses expand internationally
worry-free,” said Pablo Contreras, CEO of WorkFor Group. “We are thrilled to
be combining forces and expertise with Safeguard Global to help even more
multinational businesses to grow and thrive within the European market and
beyond.”
The acquisition closed on April 25, 2019. Terms of the deal are not being
disclosed. WorkFor and AdminMe are companies of Adm In Staff, SA, also known
as the WorkFor Group, headquartered in Sion, Switzerland.
