2. We rolled out the welcome mat for new leaders.
We announced and celebrated Chris Todd as our new chief executive officer in June. “I promise to work every day to ensure that UKG lives ‘our purpose is people’ by championing great workplaces all over the world while continuing to nurture our own people-centric culture with a deep commitment to belonging, diversity, equity, and inclusion,” says Todd.
We welcomed Pat Wadors as our new chief people officer in April. No one was more excited about the news than Wadors herself. “To thrive, organizations must have a blend of people with differing backgrounds and ways of thinking, who also feel they belong as part of the team and its success. I am energized by the alignment of our vision and what we can accomplish with such a strong and award-winning cultural foundation in place,” says Wadors.
