“UKG technology allows us to take better care of our people and our patients,” said Jon Stabbe, director of workforce management at Community Health System, a hospital system with 11,000 employees located in central California. “Our staff can see their schedules in UKG and pick up shifts at their home unit or nearby facilities, which gives them better work-life balance and has contributed to an increase in retention. At the same time, we’re able to look at patient ratios to make sure we always have the right staff in place to care for those patients. The changes we’ve put in place as a result of implementing UKG technology has helped us save $2.8 million.”
