Built on UKG’s deep experience supporting frontline healthcare roles including nurses, physicians, and technicians the platform brings together workforce data, AI-driven insights, and operational tools to break down silos and enable more informed decision-making.

Healthcare organizations using UKG report measurable improvements in workforce management and engagement. Leaders can analyze labor metrics, optimize staffing levels, and monitor turnover trends to support culture and retention. Tools such as earned wage access also contribute to improved employee morale and financial well-being.

Industry research highlights the urgency of these solutions, with a significant majority of healthcare workers reporting burnout across both acute and non-acute care settings. In response, UKG has expanded its UKG Pro HCM and Workforce Management suites with healthcare-specific capabilities aimed at easing workload pressures and improving scheduling control.

Key solutions include AI-guided high-volume hiring through UKG Rapid Hire, advanced forecasting and compliance-based scheduling, clinical scheduling extensions that align staffing with patient demand, and flexible physician scheduling tools. Communication features such as UKG Talk help keep frontline teams connected, while UKG Wallet provides on-demand pay options that give employees more financial flexibility between pay cycles.
