Talent and Culture

At UKG,
we exist to help our customers build great places to work for all, by putting people at the center of culture, technology, and business.

Our Commitment to Our People

Our success starts and ends with our employees – our U Krewers – the people who bring our mission to life. Working at UKG means believing in our mission and feeling ownership for innovation every day. We could not do what we do without the incredible collaboration, innovation, and agility of our talented U Krewers.

Across our global operations, we promise to create an environment where all U Krewers can innovate with courage, grow professionally, and work with people who care about each other and our shared vision. To reflect this commitment, we have practices for all U Krewers to thrive at every stage of their career — from our comprehensive benefits and support to employee feedback and career development opportunities.

Employee Benefits

UKG provides comprehensive benefits to all U Krewers worldwide, offering support and programs for them and their dependents across all stages of life. We care about our employees’ whole lives — not just their work lives. In line with this focus, our U Choose benefits options let U Krewers select reimbursement allowances that align with their personal needs and stage of life.

Employee Health and Wellbeing

At UKG, we are committed to ensuring the safety, health, and wellbeing of every U Krewer, while also maintaining uninterrupted, exceptional support for our customers, suppliers, and partners. We also provide support to our employees in both immediate (e.g., natural disaster) and prolonged (e.g., pandemic) crisis events. Outside of crisis events, our health and wellbeing programs aspire to empower and support U Krewers and their families throughout their journeys to achieve optimal wellbeing and happiness, both at work and at home.

Employee Experience

In embracing and living “Our purpose is people” tagline, we feel it is important to recognize, celebrate, and thank our U Krewers for going above and beyond with our customers and one another. We have several programs and benefits in place to reward our U Krewers’ hard work, from a formal peer-recognition platform called Celebrate U!, to short- and long-term financial rewards in the form of performance bonuses and company equity.

Listening to Our Employees

As part of our employee experience, listening and keeping a pulse on employee engagement throughout the moments that matter in the employee lifecycle are critical to our growth and success as a company.

This includes the full lifecycle, from when candidates interview with us to their first 90 days as new employees to when they decide to find opportunities outside UKG. All interactions and responses provide critical information about what we need to continue doing and what we can do better.

We also conduct large-scale surveys with all U Krewers, including twice-yearly engagement surveys and the Great Place To Work Trust Index. As a result of these surveys, we are able to identify the areas where we need to remain committed and follow up on during the year. By asking targeted questions about our manager population and UKG processes, culture, strategy, and practices, we can use the results to equip our managers with ways to action-plan and help them and their teams create better work environments.

Career Development Opportunities

Every employee should have equal opportunities to thrive in all aspects of their career. Career growth is one of the most important aspects of the UKG employee experience, and we are dedicated to supporting all U Krewers in their career aspirations.

We invest in several professional development, learning, and training programs for our U Krewers. This includes complimentary memberships to LinkedIn Learning, with tens of thousands of courses spanning business, creative, and technology topics, as well as our Gigs@UKG program, which enables employees to participate in short-term, high-impact projects while trying new roles across the company. We also offer the opportunity for all U Krewers to earn professional certifications as another way to continue their career growth.

All employees participate in the performance management program at UKG. This program ensures U Krewers have a clear understanding of what is expected of them, creates a culture of feedback and support, and promotes accountability through a fair and equitable process. Goal setting, performance check-ins, stakeholder feedback, and annual performance reviews are key elements of the program.
