LONDON and MARLBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwire - December 10, 2009) - Workscape, Inc., a leading provider of integrated HR solutions and services, today announced the formal opening of a new office location and expansion of business operations in the United Kingdom.

"Through our continued global expansion, we are strengthening our position as the 'go-to' company for integrated HR solutions that encourage each and every employee to stake a claim in improving the business," stated Tim Clifford, Workscape's CEO.

Already embraced by millions of employees at companies across the globe, we look forward to extending the benefits of our HR solutions to even more international companies through our European headquarters in the U.K."
