UKG Corporate Governance and Accountability
Embedded in our culture is a profound commitment to doing the right thing for our employees, customers, and stakeholders.
Ours is a culture that values diverse perspectives, actively sacrifices individual preferences in order to benefit the greater good, values transparency and kindness, is adaptive and agile, offers support and opportunities for growth, and relentlessly pursues great outcomes.
At UKG
We value diverse perspectives with an emphasis on transparency and kindness.
This includes actively working to earn and maintain trust by showing consistency between our words and actions, by being transparent, and by taking personal and collective responsibility for the decisions we make and the outcomes that follow.
