Workwell North America

What Workwell North America does

Workwell North America (legal entity: Secure Talent, LLC dba Workwell North America) is a contingent workforce management solutions provider formed in 2025 when Workwell Group acquired Eastridge Workforce Management. The company delivers Employer of Record (EOR), Managed Service Provider (MSP), Vendor Management System (VMS), Statement of Work (SOW), Independent Contractor (IC) compliance, and Direct Sourcing services to mid-market and enterprise clients primarily in Life Sciences, Manufacturing & Distribution, Emerging & Advanced Technology, Digital & Entertainment, and Financial Services verticals. Operations span all 50 US states, Canadian provinces, and 150+ countries globally, with 50,000 contractors managed and 4,000+ customers served, supported by 500+ employees and headquartered in San Diego, California.

The company's core technology is Talient, a proprietary mobile-first, cloud-based VMS platform developed in-house, designed for contingent workforce management across EOR, recruited, and contractor talent with real-time analytics, automated onboarding workflows, integrated timekeeping and payroll, and a three-clicks-or-less user interface. Talient integrates natively with Workday, SAP, ADP, Oracle, Coupa, Tableau, Sisense, Slack, and SSO, and Workwell is also VMS-agnostic, supporting client deployments on Beeline, VNDLY, Fieldglass, and Pixid. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. Revenue is generated through managed-services fees structured as transparent markups on worker compensation, with multi-year enterprise contracts, dedicated program and account managers, and embedded compliance expertise.

The business model is enterprise sales-led, combining direct field sales for large accounts with an inside sales team handling inbound inquiries, demo requests, and consultation scheduling. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with stated 15-25% savings versus internal employment management and reported client outcomes including 95% faster time-to-fill, up to $500K in annual cost savings, 60-day average MSP implementation, NPS of 86 for EOR, and 100% social compliance audit pass rate. The company has been named Major Contender in the Everest Group MSP Peak Matrix for three consecutive years (2023-2025) and was recognized in the Contractor UK Contracting Awards in 2023 and 2024.

Revenue model

1. Employer of Record (EOR) Services: Workwell North America acts as the legal employer of record for contingent and project-based workers, managing payroll, benefits, compliance, and onboarding. Revenue is generated through a transparent markup on top of worker compensation, with no hidden fees. Pricing is quoted based on client scope and program complexity. The service is delivered as a managed service with dedicated account management.
2. Managed Service Provider (MSP) Solutions: MSP programs centralize supplier oversight, compliance, standardized reporting, and workforce management efficiency. Workwell MSP manages staffing supplier relationships, onboarding, invoicing, and performance measurement. Revenue is derived from program management fees built into supplier rates or as a separate service fee. Reported measurable ROI including up to $500,000 in annual cost savings for most clients.
3. Statement of Work (SOW) Management: SOW management enables organizations to govern complex SOW-based engagements with visibility, compliance, and accountability. Workwell manages milestone tracking, quality control, and audit review through platforms such as Beeline and Zivio. Revenue generated as part of the broader MSP or standalone service engagement.
4. Independent Contractor Compliance Solutions: IC compliance solutions help organizations reduce misclassification risk by ensuring workers are properly classified, documented, and governed. Workwell acts as Agent of Record, handling documentation, payments, and tax filings with full audit visibility. Revenue from compliance and administrative service fees.
5. Vendor Management System (VMS) Technology: Talient VMS is offered as part of EOR and MSP programs. Workwell is also VMS-agnostic and supports clients on Beeline, VNDLY, Pixid, Fieldglass, and other platforms, providing implementation and program management services. Revenue embedded within MSP and EOR program fees.
6. Direct Sourcing Solutions: Direct sourcing helps organizations turn internal networks into strategic talent channels by building curated talent pools, accelerating speed-to-hire, and reducing reliance on staffing suppliers. Offered as a standalone service or integrated with MSP or EOR programs.
