Workwell Group, a global leader in Human Capital Management (HCM) and Employer of Record (EOR) services, has acquired Eastridge Workforce Management (EWM) from Eastridge Workforce Solutions. This strategic acquisition strengthens Workwell’s North American presence, adding approximately $400 million in revenue and bringing total company revenue to over $2 billion. The deal follows the recent acquisition of PGC Group in April 2024 and reinforces Workwell’s position in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The integration of EWM, along with its technology platform Talient and established client base, is expected to enhance Workwell’s service offerings and accelerate market share growth.



Strategic Deal Enhances Scale, Client Base, and Revenue Growth in EOR and HCM Sectors

Workwell Group, a global leader in human capital management (HCM) and Employer of Record (EOR) services, today announced the successful acquisition of Eastridge Workforce Management (EWM), a prominent tech-enabled EOR provider based in San Diego, California, from Eastridge Workforce Solutions. This carve out acquisition follows the company’s recent acquisition of PGC Group in April 2024 and represents another significant step in Workwell’s strategy to accelerate growth and expand its footprint in North America, the world’s largest hiring market.

The acquisition of EWM brings the Group’s total revenue to over $2 billion, with circa $400 million of revenue and over 40% of group management fees generated from North America, further solidifying the company’s dominant position in the region.

Commenting on the acquisition, John Hoskin, CEO of Workwell, said:

“We are excited to welcome the Eastridge Workforce Management team to the Workwell Group. Their exceptional capabilities and reputation in the HCM sector, combined with their strong relationships with top-tier enterprise clients such as Sofi, Tastemade and Servier Pharmaceuticals align perfectly with our vision for growth. This acquisition significantly strengthens our North American operations and deepens our client base, positioning us for accelerated expansion in this critical market. When coupled with the recent acquisition of PGC Group in April 2024, we are well-positioned to capture even more market share.”

The acquisition of EWM represents the second major transaction for Workwell in less than a year following the acquisition of PGC Group, bringing their total headcount to over 500 employees with more than a quarter of those based in North America. Together, these acquisitions mark a decisive period of growth for the company as it continues to scale its operations across the US, Canada, and Mexico. The combination of Workwell’s global platform with EWM’s North American expertise, enterprise client relationships and leading VMS technology (“Talient”), is expected to drive increased market share and enhance service offerings.

Workwell remains committed to providing innovative EOR and HCM solutions that help businesses manage their global flexible workforces with greater agility, compliance, and efficiency. The integration of EWM will further strengthen the company’s ability to deliver world-class solutions to its expanding customer base, while the success of PGC Group’s integration in 2024 already demonstrates the company’s ability to realize value from strategic acquisitions.
