UKG, a leading global provider of human capital management solutions, has acquired Great Place to Work Institute Inc. (GPTW), a trusted authority on workplace culture with a mission to help organizations become Great Workplaces for All™.
UKG will no longer be ranked on the Great Place to Work lists, but it won’t stop the great work UKG does in offering a world-class culture to their team. UKG will continue to apply for other awards to recognize their extraordinary culture. For Great Place to Work, it will be business as usual.
Brandon Hall Group research has shown that taking on only operational challenges of the workforce simply isn’t enough. Organizations must create a culture where employees experience a meaningful and inspiring life-work journey and feel proud of their accomplishments. UKG’s “Our Purpose is People” motto and philosophy are well-aligned with the needs of organizations around the world to improve their employee experience.
The Great Place to Work team will bring an unmatched level of experience and expertise that will take the UKG technology suite and services to another level of functionality by enhancing the actionable insights that can be delivered and guiding customers in building truly great workplaces for their employees. UKG will offer Great Place to Work tools and benchmarks to current customers, leveraging Great Place to Work’s global research and methodology.
UKG also plans to embed elements of Great Place to Work insights into UKG’s solutions to assist their customers in the improvement of organizational health, elevate the life-work journey, and give an even greater voice to the employee.
“Today marks a pivotal moment for UKG, as we welcome Great Place to Work into our family. We are determined to raise the bar on how HCM technology can help organizations and their people thrive,” said Chris Todd, president at UKG. “We believe that the future of HCM software goes beyond offering exceptional HR, payroll, and workforce management solutions that improve workplace efficiency and promote compliance. The time has come for companies to expect more from their HCM providers, and we plan to lead the charge.”
The acquisition of Great Place to Work by UKG reflects the company’s commitment to evolve technology to meet the rapidly changing world of work.
