UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group), a leading global provider of human capital management (HCM), payroll, HR service delivery, and workforce management solutions, today announced the expansion of the UKG Marketplace, adding nearly two dozen new technology partners who share the UKG vision for a frictionless employee technology experience that keeps people at the center of the workplace.
