Mosaic Consulting Group Announces Plan to Acquire Westward Consulting
Mosaic NewsWe are excited to announce that we have entered into an acquisition agreement with Westward Consulting, a long-time Kronos partner focused on workforce management. The acquisition is expected to be completed on June 30th, 2021.
In 2020 Ultimate Software and Kronos merged to create UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) which has resulted in new opportunities for service partners just as it has created exciting opportunities for UKG customers. By completing this acquisition, we will bring together Mosaic’s legacy UltiPro expertise with Westward’s legacy Kronos experience to strengthen Mosaic Consulting Group’s exclusive focus on implementation, support, and optimization across the entire UKG product suite.
“We have been looking forward to an opportunity to bring a seamless full suite of HCM and workforce management solutions expertise to the marketplace, just like UKG delivers a seamless user experience across the entire employee lifecycle” said Vicki Hill, founder and CEO of Mosaic Consulting Group. “UKG is already delivering on its promise to be one of the world’s most innovative and people-centric cloud companies. Organizations recognize the value UKG is creating for their people and operations, which has created an immediate opportunity for Mosaic and Westward to come together as one team to provide a single, exceptional services experience across UKG products.”
John West, Founder of Westward Consulting adds, “The decision to join the Mosaic team comes, in great part, due to my belief that the Westward team and the Mosaic team truly have complementary cultures and styles. Mosaic and Westward also share a reputation of being the experts of our respective areas of focus. This is why I am confident that this will be advantageous to both teams and ultimately our clients.”

Adapting Your Open Enrollment to Today’s Workforce
Strategy, UKG Pro, Yearly PlanningSo much has changed in the year 2020 that even yearly business processes, like Open Enrollment, have to adapt to meet our team’s needs. With employees working remotely one of the biggest, and often overlooked, changes that companies need to consider is updating (or sometimes creating) their internal communication strategy to fit their workforce. Open Enrollment highlights a challenge that many companies are faced with today, how do you effectively communicate with an entire team who no longer reports to one central location? The short answer to this question is: proactively.

Communicating During Open Enrollment:
Keeping your team well informed on what their options are for Open Enrollment and when your sessions are open is crucial, and although this year it may need to look a little different it does not have to be any less effective.
Start your process by identifying your team and making sure you are all prepared for a smooth UKG Pro Open Enrollment. There are certain aspects of Open Enrollment configuration that are vital and should not be overlooked, see our blogs on Open Enrollment: Simplified and Best Practices for Effectively Managing Open Enrollment for more information around UKG Pro Core Open Enrollment.
Once your team decides on when you will hold your open enrollment session(s) it is time to schedule a presentation to communicate with your broader audience. This presentation is your opportunity to communicate everything open enrollment with your employees, so make sure that your open enrollment team recognizes how important it is. Start by identifying who will be the presenter, and then make sure the whole team supports them in their efforts to deliver a concise and relevant presentation that covers the appropriate content.
When scheduling when your team will deliver the presentation to your whole team, we recommend scheduling multiple presentations at varying times and on different days. Doing this will consider anyone who may be on vacation time or on a different shift. Try to schedule these presentations far in advance and get them on people’s calendars early, but remember, once you put something on a corporate calendar try as hard as you can not to move it. Rescheduling meetings can give the impression that your team is not prepared, even if that’s not the case.
Although the presentation you are preparing is extremely important, there are more supporting documents you should consider preparing to ensure your employees have everything they need to successfully complete their open enrollment sessions. These documents include:
With these assets prepared you will not only be able to keep your open enrollment project team on the same page but also ensure your entire team is prepared to complete their elections and have a smooth open enrollment experience.

A Strategic Focus On Payroll
Strategy, UKG ProA Strategic Focus on Payroll
Let’s be honest, the expectation of payroll is that it can be nothing but perfect; every.single.time. Every person expects payroll to be on time and accurate. Often, the perception of the impact of payroll stops there, and we believe that is a missed opportunity.
Payroll can influence and impact a company at every level. For a payee something as simple as speed of pay can impact their entire experience within a company and their families. Implementing methods to give employees more control over that speed, like pay on demand, can have a huge impact on their personal lives. On the other hand, a CEO should consider the cost of getting payroll out the door, as well as how it helps retain and recruit top talent. Leveraging technology, optimization and new strategies can help elevate payroll professionals to the point where they become agents of change, dedicated to their team’s experience and completely aligned with their organization’s strategy and health.

As simple as paying people on time and accurately sounds, payroll is actually quite complex. People depend on their pay and one negative experience with an employee’s paycheck is difficult to recover from. An error can carry a perception that the organization is disorganized and doesn’t care.
With all this in mind, it is surprising that many organizations still perceive payroll as a back-office or “overhead team” who needs to simply get people paid on time and accurately.
Payroll in and of itself is more than just hours times rate of pay or a per pay period amount. Employers are tax collectors for the state, federal and local governments. Every time one of these agencies (and there are hundreds) makes a change there is a downstream impact on an organization’s team. Many employees don’t even realize that moving, even one street over, can have an effect on their paychecks. Let’s factor in benefits and deductions to pay such as garnishments, philanthropic contributions and commuting expenses! Is it before tax after tax and where do all these deduction monies go? Who is sending them and when? Payroll has so many moving pieces that extend well beyond gross to net calculations.
These activities are all heavily scrutinized and require a body of talent focused on accuracy, compliance, risk and most importantly delivering a perfect employee experience by simply… processing pay PERFECTLY EVERY TIME.
Attention and significant importance must be put on payroll within every organization. Payroll is not a set it and forget it function, it must evolve just as any other business activity to ensure your organization remains risk adverse and supports the organization’s overall business strategies. While processing payroll perfectly and timely is key; having a payroll strategy is a differentiator, ensuring you are optimizing your payroll procedure and systems, retaining your talent and influencing organizational success.

How can I start implementing a payroll strategy?
Start by asking simple questions. Look for ways to reduce complexity and increase efficiency. Pay groups and pay frequencies are often areas that once they are established are overlooked; and these can have a significant impact on an organization’s bottom line and drivers to greater efficiency. As you think about things like pay groups and pay frequencies consider other things that are unique to your organization. Are there any old processes that need to be revisited?
You can also consider and leverage technology and services that are available to optimize your payroll. In UKG Pro, for example, you could consider:
