Description

At Ascender HCM, a subsidiary of Ceridian, we believe that technology serves as a catalyst, allowing you to dedicate more attention and resources to prioritizing your workforce. In addition to our advanced technological solutions, we offer multiple delivery models, enabling you to select the service that aligns perfectly with your business requirements. Our innovative technology platforms have been designed to simplify the management of your organization’s payroll services, saving you both time and effort. Regardless of whether your business is large or small, operates nationally or internationally, or deals with intricate payroll circumstances, Ascender is prepared to assist you. Our diverse payroll services work in tandem with our platforms to ensure that both your people and compliance obligations are effectively managed. The essence of Human Capital Management lies in maximizing your workforce's potential. Beyond payroll functions, Ascender is excited to provide access to a robust suite of HCM technology solutions—enhanced by our acquisition of PeopleStreme—that addresses every aspect of the employee experience, from recruitment to retirement. With these comprehensive tools, we aim to empower organizations to nurture talent and optimize performance throughout the entire employee lifecycle.

Description

Most HR platforms are built for the enterprise, then squeezed to fit organizations that were never really their intended customer. Ours works the other way around. Since 2007, our team has focused specifically on serving CARF-accredited nonprofits, social-service agencies, and small-to-midsize businesses, supporting workforces anywhere between 30 and 10,000 people. Pricing reflects that focus. A business analysis ($799, $199 for nonprofits) comes first, followed by a $500, three-month trial that covers setup, configuration, and monthly consultant check-ins, with no long-term contract waiting at the end of it. Walk away if it isn't the right fit. Compliance works the same way. Because a CARF surveyor is part of our team, guidance on Community Living, Ministry of Children and Families, and equivalent U.S. state reporting requirements is built into how the platform operates, not offered as an afterthought. We're also recognized as a TechSoup partner (Canada and US), and we've rolled this platform out to more than 100 organizations across the EU, Canada, and the United States. That's proof the approach holds up across very different regulatory environments and organization sizes.
