Dive Insight:
Michael Burke, CEO of Talent, Rewards & Performance at Aon Hewitt, said it's crucial for the firm's clients to attract and retain top talent, but their strategies in this space are often limited to stand-alone one-time snapshots of what engages their workforce. Modern Survey will help change that by providing quick, user-friendly, fact-based insights, the press release notes.
The acquisition is considered the "next step" in firm's strategy to partner with clients to "drive business performance through people."
