UKG Receives Multiple Best Place To Work Honors In 2026

UKG, a leading global AI platform unifying HR, pay, and workforce management, was recognized with seven different best place to work honors from Computerworld and Forbes for its strong, supportive, and innovative work culture. 

“The strongest organizations are built when employees are empowered to do their best work, feel connected to one another, and are supported by benefits that reflect their varying needs,” said Beth Conway, Chief People Officer at UKG. “That commitment to people drives resilience, innovation, and sustainable growth on a global scale. Specifically, being named one of the world’s best tech employers by both Computerworld and Forbes validates our dedication to creating an inspiring employee experience — not only for our own people, but also for the tens of millions of employees our solutions impact every day.”
