UKG Newsroom

Fortune | Aron Ain is a face-to-face kind of leader. The CEO of HR and workforce management software company UKG likes being in the same room with people, connecting in that way only handshakes and hugs can accomplish. So COVID has been a challenge for him. Especially because 2020 turned out to be the year his former company, Kronos, merged with Ultimate Software to create UKG.

LOWELL, Mass., and WESTON, Fla. | UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group), a leading global provider of HCM, payroll, HR service delivery, and workforce management solutions, announced today that it ranked #3 on Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Technology 2021 list, created by Great Place to Work.

Reuters | UKG, which provides time management for small and mid-sized companies, said employee shift work at U.S. manufacturers was up 3.4% in mid-March from mid-February, outpacing a 2.6% increase across all industries.

Marketplace | Ultimate Software and Kronos Inc. released the news of the definitive merger agreement Thursday. According to both companies, the move will form one of the world’s largest cloud companies, valued overall at $22 billion.

LOWELL, Mass. | Kronos Incorporated today issued its update on U.S. workforce activity for the week of May 18-24, 2020. According to the report, which analyzes aggregated and anonymized weekly data from approximately 30,000 businesses with 3.2 million employees, total shifts worked increased modestly for the sixth consecutive week.

Forbes | In their remote work survey last year, Ultimate Software found that remote workers are nearly twice as likely as in-office employees to feel “frequently misunderstood or misinterpreted” in the workplace.
