Alight Solutions, a leader in technology-enabled health, wealth and human capital management (HCM) and financial management solutions, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire NGA Human Resources, a leading provider of digital HR and multi-country payroll services. The proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.

With a nearly 50-year history, NGA HR brings innovation, high-quality service, HR and payroll expertise to its more than 250 clients, representing three million employees. As one of the largest multinational payroll providers, NGA HR is enabled to deliver HR & payroll services across more than 188 countries.
