In 2017, Alight emerged as an independent company after acquiring Aon plc's benefits outsourcing business, driven by a powerful insight: the world of employee benefits was broken. Complex, fragmented, and overwhelming, benefits systems were failing both employers who needed to manage costs and employees who needed to make critical decisions about their health and wealth. So the founders set out to transform the industry.
Today, Alight stands as a leading cloud-based human capital technology and services provider, serving thousands of clients and millions of employees worldwide. At the heart of their innovation lies Alight Worklife - a seamless, integrated platform that unifies the entire benefits ecosystem. Powered by Alight LumenAI, their artificial intelligence engine predicts workforce needs, risks, and opportunities, enabling personalized guidance at scale. From health benefits and retirement planning to wellbeing programs and absence management, Alight helps people power confident decisions for life, creating a healthier, more financially secure workforce for organizations around the globe.
