Mosaic Consulting Group Receives 2021 UKG Innovator of the Year Partner Award

,

Mosaic Consulting Group won the 2021 UKG Innovator of the Year – HCM Services Partner Award as a Certified UKG Partner. This award marks the fourth year in which Mosaic has received a Partner Award, most recently receiving The Partner Collaboration Award in 2020.

Mosaic has a lot to celebrate in 2021, a year where we have increased our focus on our client experience, our team experience and our close partnership with UKG. According to UKG this innovation award went to the UKG Certified partner who showed innovation in technology and in strategy. Mosaic’s application for the award mentioned a recent project completed by our team of UKG Technical experts for one of our long-term clients. The client team was seeking a way to pull data out of their UKG Pro system and write it into their Data Lake. The client wanted to marry data out of UKG Pro with data from other systems to provide visibility to their executive team. This allowed them to make fully educated decisions, build a strategy, and continue to move their business forward. The uniqueness of the request came in the form of the type of data the client wanted to extract from UKG Pro – any and all of it. The Mosaic team got to work and built an automated process that leverages API calls to retrieve Cognos BI Report XML data and subsequently transform this data into SQL objects that are then stored in the client’s Data Lake for downstream use. This flexibility allows for a highly optimized process, providing quick access to information and allows the visibility that the client’s executive team can then use to conduct their holistic strategic planning.

Vicki Hill, CEO says “This is just one example of how we make a difference for our clients and build confidence in their UKG products. I know that each of our team members have a similar story where they’ve guided, anticipated, and exceeded our client’s expectations. I’m so proud of our entire team and our accomplishments.”

Mosaic Consulting Group Introduces Companywide Mental Heath Day of Rest

,

Dear Reader,

Every year the entire Mosaic team gathers in Nashville for a three-day company meeting meant to be a time for our team to learn new skills, grow and spend time with each other. I look forward to this meeting every year. As a company, 2021’s meeting has a special meaning to us because it is the 10th anniversary of our founding and because we had to cancel the event in 2020. With the current situation as is, the Mosaic executive team was faced with a difficult decision.

This year, our meeting was scheduled to take place from August 31st to September 2nd . Our team had the option to attend online or in-person due to COVID-19 conditions. As the date approached, leaders in our organization brought forth some concerns they heard from our team members. At Mosaic, we pride ourselves in listening to our team, so three weeks before the event we sent out a company-wide survey to offer our team the opportunity to tell us, directly, what they were feeling. The results did reveal some concerns among our team about the health and safety of the event. The survey also revealed an underlying burnout and anxiety that the team had been experiencing the past few months.

Trying to navigate a pandemic, new or different working conditions and caregiving, in addition to global unrest across the world would exhaust anyone, our team is no exception. With this in mind, my executive team and I went to work looking into ways to combat burnout and increase our long-term focus on mental health and the overall health of our people.

Our first initiative was to postpone our in-person meeting to next year and move this year’s meeting to be a fully-online 1-day event. Our second initiative is to implement a companywide, Mental Health Day of Rest, which will take place this coming Friday, September 3rd.

We understand that this is just the beginning, and my team and I will continue to find ways to combat burnout on a year-round basis. Our hope in these decisions is that they will help prioritize mental health for our employees and empower them to ultimately bring their best selves to work. We believe that a focus on our team results in a stronger focus and better results for our clients. To our clients, thank you for understanding and partnering with Mosaic in this decision. To our employees, thank you for working hard every single day to make Mosaic a better place.

Mosaic Consulting Group Appears on the Inc. 5000, for the 4th Consecutive Year

,

NEW YORK, August 17, 2021 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Mosaic Consulting Group is No. 4,872

on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“We are so excited to be on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies for the 4th year in a row. This achievement is especially meaningful with the difficulties of 2020, and I am just so proud of the Mosaic team, their hard work and perseverance has really paid off.” Says Vicki Hill, founder, and CEO of Mosaic Consulting Group.

Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.

“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”
