UKG LABS
A ‘Technology for All’ Ecosystem
At UKG Labs™, we’re accelerating innovation every day through our in-house ecosystem of startups. By identifying and nurturing these early-stage companies that share UKG’s vision, we’re pioneering future-of-work technology, while continuing our long-standing tradition of building technology in service of people.
Innovating for our market
We created UKG Labs to accelerate the growth of startups building technology for all — because when innovative, people-centric solutions win in the market, people win. At UKG Labs, we’re driven to inspire organizations to become great places to work by putting the focus where it should be — on people. To do this, we collaborate with teams that have a clear vision and passion for building products that serve the needs of people beyond the employee experience.
Serving our customers
Our ‘Technology for All’ ecosystem doubles as a virtual laboratory where collaboration is a key ingredient to our success. We engage our customers with our curated startups to explore the new technologies we’re accelerating. Customers test products that are taking shape in the market and participate in experiments. The valuable feedback and perspective our customers provide helps us shape the next generation of HCM products alongside these startups.
Empowering our U Krewers
Our U Krewers (UKG employees) thrive on a challenge! By collaborating with our UKG Labs startups, our employees hone their existing skills — and develop entirely new ones — while working in new domains. It’s an innovative way we encourage our people to experiment and take entrepreneur-like energy and perspective to their roles and teams along with new perspectives on relevant market challenges.
Collaborating with our founders
The core component of the UKG Labs ecosystem is our startup founders. Founders and their teams work with our team at Labs and extended specialty teams at UKG to tackle key challenges. Together, we engage with customers to conduct market discovery and gather feedback on the core value of products in development. Through Labs, founders also engage with thought leaders in the HCM and workforce management industries through workshops, one-on-one meetings, and other curated networking events — including our annual UKG user conference.
In short, our investment is our people
UKG collaborates closely with select startups through Labs, leveraging our most valuable asset: our people and their wealth of experience. Together, we work to propel and enrich the journey of each startup within our ecosystem, fostering a partnership of shared learning and exploration.
Meet our ecosystem of startups
Our early-stage startup cohorts are a core tenet of UKG Labs. Their people-first approach, coupled with innovative tech, is redefining the future of work.
