They discuss how The Great Transformation is helping UKG achieve improvements in areas such as productivity, agility and innovation. Employee resource groups (ERGs) also are playing an important role in UKG’s transformation initiative, and recent study by Great Place to Work likewise finds ERGs are critical in creating a sense of belonging, safety and pride: Reaves describes the contributions ERGs have made at UKG and what it takes to keep them moving forward.Episode transcriptFollow All Things Work on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.Music courtesy of bensound.This episode of All Things Work is sponsored by UKG.
