The Leslie Group, an employee benefits firm, announced Oct. 16 that it has entered into a nonexclusive partnership with Collage, an HR, payroll, and benefits management platform.

The Leslie Group says the partnership will allow it to bring HR and benefits management to its small and mid-sized business clients.

“Collage’s platform also gives The Leslie Group access to real-time data insights, empowering them to provide more tailored solutions and strengthen their role as valued and trusted advisors in a rapidly changing benefits industry,” said the company in an announcement.

Acquired benefits brokerage clients

The Leslie Group also acquired the benefits brokerage clients of Collage effective Sept. 1, 2018. This acquisition “formalizes Collage’s shift from being a tech-enabled broker to being a fully-aligned technology partner to brokers across Canada,” says the announcement.
