Workforce strategy, implementation and continuous improvement

WFM and HCM transformation across the complete technology lifecycle

Simms & Associates helps global organizations define the right workforce strategy, implement and adopt WFM and HCM technology, and continue improving it after go-live.

Three connected ways to create lasting workforce value

Each organization can enter the lifecycle at the point that matches its priorities: strategic direction, implementation, optimization or ongoing support.

Inspire — Strategic Advisory

Workforce Strategy & Operating Model

Inspire establishes the workforce principles, capabilities and operating model needed to support business goals.

Transformation Readiness & Roadmap

Assess organizational readiness, prioritise dependencies and create an evidence-based transformation roadmap.

UKG Platform Reviews & Value Gap Assessments

Review UKG configuration, adoption and business outcomes to identify measurable value gaps and improvement priorities.

Health Checks & Optimization Advisory

Evaluate platform health, risk and performance, then define practical optimization actions.

Workforce Analytics & Data Strategy

Turn workforce data into reliable insight for planning, performance and decision-making.

Governance & Operating-Model Design

Define ownership, decision rights and governance so workforce technology remains effective and well controlled.

Elevate — Implementation Services

End-to-end UKG implementation

Elevate turns strategic direction into a configured, validated and adopted UKG workforce solution.

Module and capability deployment

Deploy UKG modules and capabilities in line with business priorities, workforce processes and measurable outcomes.

Multi-country and global rollouts

Coordinate global design with practical in-country delivery across complex, multi-country organizations.

Localization and compliance

Address local labor rules, language, policy and compliance requirements without losing global consistency.

Integrations, data and reporting

Connect workforce technology, migrate trusted data and deliver reporting that supports operational decisions.

Testing, deployment and transition

Use structured testing, controlled deployment and operational transition to reduce risk and support adoption.

Our Application Managed Services, functional and technical support, platform administration, release management and continuous optimization create a stable, well-owned platform that keeps delivering value as the organization changes.

Cross-lifecycle capabilities

Change Management & Training, People & Adoption, Data & Intelligence, program and solution governance, multi-country localization and continuous improvement strengthen Inspire, Elevate and Evolve. These capabilities are embedded where they create the most value rather than treated as separate phases.

Technology that supports the lifecycle

The S&A-owned Kwenta Suite turns specialist workforce knowledge and data into repeatable technology solutions through Kwenta Predict, Kwenta Vault and Kwenta Count. We also implement or enable selected partner solutions, including UKG, WorkJam, TestAssure and Zaddons.
