Who sits in a first engagement
Cloud Assist owns the outcome
One accountable lead runs the workshop, the boundary review and the playback, and writes the Decision Pack. AI Assist runs the trial and the lab. The platform specialist joins where your system matters. The PeopleSafeguard product owner confirms every product claim.
Human first. Actions speak. Honest always. True partnerships.
We recommend the smallest credible next move, prove it, and then earn the right to expand. We say what the evidence supports, and legal interpretation stays with your legal and privacy owners.
Platforms we work in
Workday, Dayforce, Plan Assist, TORI, VirgilHR, HiBob, Snowflake, Oracle and Legion WFM.
Where we are
Cloud Assist Group HQ, Bank Chambers, 2 Bridge Street, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT22 8BZ, UK.
Engagements run online, scheduled in your working hours wherever you are, with on-site sessions where they matter.
One accountable plan
Supporting HR transformation in the age of AI. We help shape the vision and business design, choose systems where needed, support implementation and change, adopt AI responsibly and measure the results. AI for HR remains central, with people and business outcomes guiding the work.
Cloud Assist leads every conversation, proposal and report. Work with us across the transformation or where you need us most, including on the systems you already run. Phase Zero, HRIS Vendor Selection and any implementation or change delivery have separate scopes, agreed around your needs. Our practices bring the relevant HR and platform experience; recommendations start with your requirements.

PeopleSafeguard
Part of every AI engagement
PeopleSafeguard is part of every AI engagement: one place that shows what AI HR uses, who is trained, and the evidence behind each decision. Set up in week one, yours for twelve months, at no separate charge. After that, you decide whether to continue.
See it
A single view of every AI use case across HR, payroll and recruitment
Train for it
AI ethics learning for your people, with a shareable record of completion
Manage it
Capture, assess and track AI use cases and incidents with clear ownership
Prove it
Audit-ready evidence for boards, auditors and clients
PeopleSafeguard in full: your data, the questions HR leaders ask, and the live sessions
Connect Assist
Employee listening
Connect Assist brings together surveys, pulses and open responses to understand employee sentiment. Connect what people are saying with business context, identify themes across groups and shape targeted actions.
Anonymous responses, reported in aggregate with minimum group sizes. Your privacy owner reviews the questions before anything opens. No video, no biometric analysis, no emotion recognition, and no analysis of individuals: themes across groups only, and never about performance. Separately priced option.
Job Assist
Job architecture
Job Assist provides a structured job catalogue: a consistent foundation for describing roles, organising job architecture and planning the skills your organisation needs.
- Consistent roles: job descriptions, families, levels and grades.
- Reward and skills: support reward benchmarking and skills planning.
- Ongoing maintenance: keep the catalogue current as roles and requirements change.
Org Assist
Organisation design
Org Assist supports conversational organisation design, helping you explore alternative structures and keep the reasoning behind each decision.
- Compare scenarios: explore options and their cost and headcount impact.
- Track the work: record decisions, milestones and risks.
- Keep the evidence: maintain a decision trail for audit and governance.

Workday · Oracle · Dayforce · HiBob

Snowflake
Workforce data where it lives: the evidence, baselines and value measures behind every decision, without moving employee records into new tools.
Legion WFM
Workforce management and scheduling for frontline populations, where AI meets rostering, demand and fairness questions first.
