A trusted partner of more than 3,500 hospitals and 10,000 post acute care facilities, UKG, a leading global AI platform that unifies HR, pay, and workforce management, announced that attendees at ViVE 2026 and HIMSS 2026 can see how the UKG® Workforce Operating Platform helps healthcare organizations drive productivity, agility, flexibility, and an enhanced employee experience that results in better patient and resident care.

The UKG Workforce Operating Platform uses UKG’s deep experience and industry knowledge of the unique needs of the frontline, including doctors, nurses, and technicians, and breaks down data siloes to harness workforce insights, intelligence, and a people-first approach to AI. The result is a network of agentic and assistive AI applications across the platform that reshapes the relationship between people, technology, and frontline work, enabling healthcare providers to drive better patient outcomes and take care of their staff through best-in-class operations.

"UKG helps us in a lot of different ways, including data-driven reporting for our C-suite. We look at labor metrics per patient day and we’re able to right size labor very quickly using the data we get from UKG," said Mike Easley, CIO at American Senior Communities, which uses UKG to raise employee morale and lower costs. “And for our workforce, many times we’re competing for talent with same day pay organizations, so we use earned wage access, which has really improved employees’ morale, the culture, and their overall financial well-being. We also look at turnover and culture: ‘Are we driving the right culture? Is our turnover going down or up in a high-turnover industry?’ We are below industry average in turnover, and I credit much of that success to our internal teams who are driving culture and strategically leveraging earned wage access and UKG technology to better support our people.”

Recent UKG research found that 83% of healthcare workers in acute settings and 82% of healthcare workers in non-acute settings at least “sometimes” feel burnt out at work. To help ease the burden in an industry known for fatigue and staffing shortages, UKG enhanced the UKG Pro® HCM and UKG Pro Workforce Management suites with specialized healthcare solutions that can help employees feel more empowered and in control of their schedules, including:

• UKG Rapid Hire: An AI-guided, mobile-first solution that is specifically designed for high-volume, frontline hiring, UKG Rapid Hire automates up to 90% of repetitive hiring tasks such as sourcing, screening, scheduling, onboarding, and first-day readiness. See how
