UKG earned the award for UKG Pro Coaching and Development, a talent management offering that is woven into the full-suite Pro HCM solution.

These unique capabilities, combined with ongoing feedback, can help people leaders have more productive conversations with their teammates, helping to build trust, develop resilience, and boost engagement.
