Championing our people
We recognize that we cannot enhance the lives of our clients’ employees without first supporting our own colleagues’ wellbeing. We strive to foster an inclusive, progressive culture that enables a sense of belonging for everyone. Our holistic, intentional approach spans the spectrum of both work and life, united with a common aim for our colleagues to achieve healthy minds, bodies, wallets and lives.
At a global level, Alight’s People Strategy and Agenda focuses on five key themes that serve as cornerstones of our people philosophy: culture, recognition, wellbeing, growth and belonging.
These themes are woven into the fabric of our sustainability strategy and are essential to the success of our associated human capital commitments:
- Wellbeing: Promote the wellbeing, belonging and growth of all colleagues via the Alight Worklife® platform and foster a healthy, inclusive workplace culture
- Learning and Development: Build skills and empower colleagues to meaningfully impact growth in their careers
- Engagement and Retention: Enhance colleague engagement, recognize and celebrate their successes and foster retention
Social innovation
Alight is committed to defining the future of employee wellbeing and enhancing the employee experience through a human-centered approach that mirrors our values and objective research. We strive to cultivate enduring wellbeing outcomes by advancing our products, services and processes with an eye toward sustainability and social innovation.
Our research suggests that wellbeing-centric benefit strategies and engagement tactics can satisfy a full range of employee needs and drive better organizational outcomes supporting diversity, equity, inclusion and culture. We believe in the connection between a healthy mind, body, wallet and life so all employees can thrive at work and at home. In short, healthy employees equal healthy companies.
We develop technology that empowers clients to manage a wellbeing-centered employee experience that drives business outcomes. Our ambition to help our clients create a healthy and productive workforce, improve financial health and security, enhance the employee experience and attract and retain top talent drives our approach to innovation.
We deploy our innovation strategy through three primary channels:
Alight Worklife® — This is our Alight LumenAITM-powered employee engagement platform with a human touch that brings together our mission-critical wellbeing solutions for our clients to drive better outcomes for organizations and individuals. The result is confident decisions and meaningful outcomes for more than 36 million users and their family members.
Alight insights — Our research provides objective and actionable insights for organizations seeking benefits and employee engagement strategies that deliver improved employee and business outcomes. We leverage that research to help us build smart, integrated technology platforms like Alight Worklife to help organizations succeed by enabling their people to thrive.
Services capabilities — Leveraging innovative technology, flexible services and expertise, we deliver a standardized approach that puts employees and their financial wellbeing first.
Responsible business practices
Our long-term success is based on a foundation of ethical behaviors that guide our business decisions with integrity and set the stage for achieving our goals to be a positive beacon and empower others. We demonstrate our responsible business practice through our corporate governance and environmental sustainability efforts.
Our Governance Strategy
We believe operating with integrity, accountability and transparency is fundamental to delivering long-term value to our colleagues, customers, shareholders and communities. Our Board and leadership team continually work to ensure that sustainable business practices are integrated into our global team culture and business operations.
This comes to life through our three governance commitments:
- Ethics: Continue to drive a culture of compliance and ethical behavior by maintaining sound corporate governance
- Data security and privacy: Protect business assets and information to maintain trust of clients, colleagues, vendors and business partners
- Resilience: Ensure resilience through robust ERM, business continuity and disaster recovery programs
Our focus on ethics, data security and privacy and resilience enables us to maintain our status as an ethical and compliant business; ensure resilience through robust ERM, business continuity and disaster recovery programs; meet prospect and client requirements; and protect our reputation.
