TORONTO — Hewitt Associates, a global human resources services company, announced today it will provide HR business process outsourcing (HR BPO) services to Rogers Communications, Inc., a leading communications and media company. This is an expansion of the companies’ relationship as Hewitt has provided compensation and benefits consulting services to Rogers for the past few years.

Under the new multiyear contract, Hewitt will provide HR BPO services, including workforce administration, payroll, compensation and health and welfare administration services to approximately 26,000 Rogers employees. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Hewitt and Rogers, leaders in our respective industries, are similar in many ways,” said Shauna Cooper, Hewitt’s HR BPO leader in Canada. “We are companies with rich histories, grounded in experience, innovation and customer service.”

The Rogers contract marks Hewitt’s first HR BPO win this fiscal year.

“HR BPO continues to be an integral part of our business and we’re pleased to demonstrate that commitment as we expand our partnership with Rogers to deliver on their HR needs,” said Russ Fradin, Hewitt chairman and CEO. “We’re excited to grow our business and will continue to pursue opportunities—like Rogers—that will enable us and our clients to be successful.”
