As a leader in the HR and workforce management tech space, UKG has its finger on the pulse of what's driving today's employees. This perspective has helped the organization create a rich employee value proposition, says Chief People Officer Pat Wadors.

That includes everything from learning and development opportunities and management training to the use of emerging technology and a benefits design that was tailored to the unique UKG population of nearly 15,000 employees worldwide.

Take, for instance, its new U Choose program, a lifestyle spending account that gives employees the choice to use employer-provided funds for more than 150 different expenses—from gym memberships and fitness classes to childcare and even pet care.
