Did you know that according to recent Gartner research, 56% of HR leaders say their HR tech doesn't match their business needs anymore?

This gap doesn’t happen overnight. It might start with a merger, a department getting a new name, or a role quietly going away.

UKG Pro is usually set up for how your organization looked on its first day, not after years of changes. It won’t update itself as you grow.

We see this happen often with payroll, HR data, timekeeping, and system integrations. Maybe a tax setting wasn’t updated, benefits elections didn’t transfer, or a vendor file feed stops working because it was linked to the old structure. Usually, these issues only show up when something goes wrong, like a paycheck problem.

Our latest blog post, How To Manage Organizational Change in UKG Pro, explains what can go wrong and how to stay ahead of it. You’ll also find a link to our free checklist.

We just received a new ⭐️ 5-star review on Raven Intelligence at Covalence Consulting, and it’s a great one.

"We trust him so much that we've already asked Andrew to lead our next phase."

That line really captures what makes us different. Implementing UKG Pro WFM is more than just setting up timekeeping, accruals, and scheduling the right way, though we did that too. It’s about earning enough trust that the client wants us back before the project even ends.

Our whole team brings this to every UKG project: strong technical skills and a real understanding of how our clients operate. Andrew Mok did an amazing job leading this setup, but we use the same approach on every project for every client.

If you want to see our expertise in action before working with us, check out our recent webinar on optimizing your UKG Pro WFM setup. The link is in the comments!

Is your UKG Pro WFM setup working as hard as it could be?

We covered that live in our recent webinar "Get More From UKG Pro WFM: Optimization Strategies That Work", but if you missed it, the replay's ready whenever you are!

Covalence's UKG experts Reid McLaughlin and Andrew Mok broke down real ways to fine-tune your setup, the kind of tweaks that can save you hours down the line. Config settings that go stale. Automations that never got turned on. Reports nobody remembers exist. The small stuff that adds up fast.

Watch it at your own pace from the link below!

“Good enough” and “fully optimized” aren’t the same. Find out which describes your UKG Pro WFM setup this Thursday!

Every implementation has tradeoffs. Tight timelines, shifting priorities, and team transitions often mean some features don't get fully used, even in the best-run environments.

You've already invested in UKG Pro WFM. Let's make sure you're getting the full value.

Join us for a live webinar where Reid McLaughlin and Andrew Mok will share the optimization opportunities they most often see in UKG Pro WFM setups, plus practical ways organizations can get more from their platform.

Instead of rip-and-replace, get more from the investment you've already made.

This week, our team put our problem-solving skills to work on something a little different: homemade ice cream! 🍦

We all decided it was time to whip up some fun and sprinkle in a little extra team spirit. We got together as a team on Zoom for a lesson on making your own ice cream from scratch.

Everyone showed up with their own mix-ins, from cookie dough to sprinkles to crushed candy bars. Though some of us may have melted under the pressure of waiting for our ice cream to freeze, the results were delicious!

It was a fun way to catch up, chill out, and get creative. This was one cool event! 😎

🔔 Calendar reminder! Interrupting your regularly scheduled workday to remind you that the UTA upgrade is coming, and while the upgrade is automatic, the preparation isn’t.

Payroll rules, integrations, accruals, and union configurations all need to be verified and validated to make sure nothing shifts in the process. Making sure your payroll runs clean, your integrations hold, and your rules come through exactly as expected on the other side? That takes a plan.

We built the UTA Upgrade Assurance Program for exactly this moment, and we're showing you what that plan looks like on March 25th in our live webinar: Maximum Assurance. Minimum Disruption. UTA Upgrades Simplified.

Join Covalence's Mark Smiley and Reid McLaughlin, and walk away with a clear, confident path for your next upgrade.
