DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING AND SOCIAL IMPACT AT UKG

Belonging, Equity, and Impact

At UKG we strongly value and champion Belonging, Equity, and Impact which encompasses our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) and Social Impact efforts. We believe when people feel valued and that they belong, their innovative spirit is unlocked and they are empowered to tap into their unique talents for the good of themselves, their team, their company, their customers, and their community. This belief is what drives our Belonging, Equity, and Impact strategy.

We drive this unique commitment into our global communities through our strategic social impact initiatives aimed at creating equitable opportunity for all.”

Creating Opportunities

We live in a world where talent is distributed equally — but opportunity is not. We seek to change that. And we start by looking for ways to create opportunities for all people to not only be their authentic selves but to achieve more. We believe that success is only possible when all people feel valued and respected and are empowered to tap into their unique talents. This is why we not only seek out but celebrate unique identities and perspectives, and foster a workplace where all people feel valued, respected, safe, and confident that they have abundant opportunity to grow.

Enriching Every Workplace Culture

When a workplace truly puts people first, only then can a culture where everyone belongs become possible. Inclusion and belonging are the foundation on which we share our experience, knowledge, and solutions to enrich every workplace culture. This is because a culture of belonging leads to more effective, connected, and inspired team members, and it’s why we drive awareness, advance workplace inclusion and belonging, and expand opportunities for all team members, customers, and communities to create superior outcomes for all.

This is why we seek to uplift every community through investments and commitments that level the equity playing field for all people. We are dedicated to investing in, partnering with, and supporting organizations that share our values to collectively drive positive, impactful change and build diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities where everyone can thrive.
