UKG Insiders is our customer fan club. One of our favorite ways to recognize Insiders for all they do throughout the year is our annual awards breakfast at KronosWorks. Well, things were different this year; following our exciting merger with Ultimate Software, KronosWorks became UKG Works. We also went virtual this year, meaning there was no awards breakfast.
But our love for our Insiders has only grown. This year, we are pleased to recognize 22 Insiders for going above and beyond by sharing their perspectives, connecting with experts and peers, and amplifying their stories. It’s your voices that other customers want to hear — so THANK you!
Insider of the Year
The Insider of the Year stands out from the pack in the depth and breadth of their engagement with UKG and our customers, current and future. Congratulations to Chad Leavell, Community Systems, Inc.
Esteemed Advisors
Esteemed Advisors help shape the UKG experience by participating in feedback sessions, interviews, and more. Congratulations to John Leopold, Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia, and Jamie Crouch, Wyoming Medical Center.
Knowledge Knockouts
Centers of excellence in their own right, our Knowledge Knockouts share their expertise far and wide in UKG Kronos Community as well as one-on-one with future customers on reference calls. Congratulations to Kevin Black, KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools, Inc., and Zahara Dakroub, Hamadeh Educational Services, Inc.
Rising Stars
In their first year as Insiders, our Rising Stars jumped in with both feet, telling their story in a variety of ways — reference calls, engaging with industry analysts, participating in feedback sessions, and more. Congratulations to Brian Goff, Sun Prairie Police Department, and Fred Damavandi, Rolling Hills Country Club.
Reference Royalty
Reference Royalty shared their expert perspectives one-on-one with future customers hundreds of times during the past year via reference calls and site visits. We are so grateful for every conversation they took part in. Congratulations to our royal court!
