Sona and National Care Group announce partnership

One of the UK’s leading Care providers selects Sona’s next-generation HR solution to simplify systems and support staff engagement.

National Care Group, a major provider of care and support services for adults with complex needs, has partnered with Sona to modernise its people systems by adopting Sona’s standalone HR platform. This decision reflects National Care Group’s confidence in the strength, usability, and strategic fit of the platform on its own merits.

During a detailed evaluation process led by National Care Group’s Chief People Officer and Head of People, Sona’s HR platform stood out for its simplicity, functionality, and alignment with Care needs. The product demonstrated its ability to meet a comprehensive list of requirements, giving the team full confidence to move forward with implementation.

We are delighted to be collaborating with Sona, contributing towards our digitisation strategy and vision of being among the best and most trusted Social Care providers in the UK. The innovative solution they have presented has the potential to revolutionise our HR processes, and we can’t wait to introduce our colleagues to a more modern platform that is intuitive, configurable, and built for the realities of adult Social Care.

With integrations planned for existing systems, including Tribepad and Borderless, Sona’s
HR platform will sit at the centre of National Care Group’s digital infrastructure, streamlining
people data, automating key processes, and empowering teams with better access to tools
and insights.

Sona is looking forward to working closely with National Care Group to deliver a seamless
implementation and help power their people-first approach to providing quality care and
support.
