Real estate and facilities services company The Building People has acquired PeopleSurge, LLC, a Charleston, South Carolina-based people analytics consulting firm.
The Building People integrates technology, buildings and people to deliver what it refers to as “the future of facilities and real estate today.” This acquisition furthers the company’s strategy of building a people-centric company and solutions for its customers with predictive solutions, executives said.
“Now more than ever, technology innovations combined with the demand for new work styles, and new ways of delivering real estate and facilities solutions are changing the ingenuity of new workplace cultures,” said Lawrence Melton, CEO and president of The Building People. “Since the establishment of The Building People, we have focused on preparing our customers for adapting to change, and we’re doing so by transforming the built environment through adaptive intelligence.”
PeopleSurge provides people management software solutions, management training workshops and strategic advisory services for organizations to optimize their human capital strategy. This merger combines the The Building People’s experience with science and data to help organizations hire the right people, build winning teams and reach business results. In fact, The Building People has been leveraging the software like the Predictive Index for 2 years, and it has become a major contributor to the company becoming one of the “2021 Top Workplaces” in the country.
Melton said the merger enables his company to grow in a time when changes in workforce planning and technology adoption for building owners, occupants and stakeholders are happening.
“It strengthens our ability to ensure clients maximize the workplace experience and reduce costs without sacrificing quality and reliability while bringing ‘predictability’ in their workforce behaviors,” he added.
Mike Mosel, co-founder and principal of PeopleSurge, said the transaction validates the work the company does for its clients as its team merges with The Building People’s vision for transforming the built environment to life.
“We’re excited to continue to serve our current clients in the private sector and create new services to support the growing demand for workplace transformation in the public sector,” he added.
