Reach every shift, every site, straight from UKG.

What connects

The data your programs run on.

UKG Pro is UKG's HR, payroll and workforce management suite, popular with employers who run large hourly and shift-based teams across many sites. It holds the org levels, locations and job details that frontline communication depends on.

See every integration →
Fields you can use

Employee, job, org levels, location, supervisor, employee type, full or part time, hire date, mobile number and your custom fields.

You stay in control

You pick the fields that sync and whether the connection is read-only or also writes approved fields back to UKG Pro. Sensitive fields report coverage only, never values, when your team asks an AI assistant about them.

Who sees it

Editors only see what their role allows, and every change is logged.

Triggers

Events that start programs on their own.

When something changes in your system of record, the right people hear about it on the right channel. Nobody on the People team presses send.

New hire

A hire in UKG Pro starts onboarding on their phone: welcome text, first-shift details and who to ask for on day one.

Org level change

Moving to a new org level or cost center moves them into the right audiences and sends a short welcome.

Location change

Site transfers trigger the new location's safety basics, contacts and local news.

Supervisor change

New supervisors get a team roster summary and a prompt to introduce themselves.

Service anniversary

Milestone years trigger recognition from their supervisor, visible on the hub and in their messages.

Termination

Leavers get offboarding steps and drop out of every audience after their last day.

What you can do

Six jobs your team stops doing by hand.

Frontline reach by org level

Target by UKG org level, location or employee type to reach one store, one shift group or every part-time employee, on SMS, WhatsApp or the hub.

Audiences that keep themselves current

Every department, location and manager in UKG Pro becomes a live audience. New hires are in on day one, and leavers drop out on their last.

Onboarding that starts on its own

A start date in UKG Pro kicks off preboarding, day one and the first 90 days, with manager nudges built in.

Milestones nobody forgets

Work anniversaries and promotions recorded in UKG Pro trigger a message, a manager prompt or an e-gift on the day.

Messages that sound personal

Merge first name, manager, location and role into every email, Slack/Teams post and text, so a company-wide update reads like it was written for one person.

Results by team, site and manager

Every read and click rolls up by the UKG Pro fields you already track, ready for leadership without a spreadsheet.

In detail

How it works, in practice.

From UKG Pro record to live audience

Every person in UKG Pro becomes one ChangeEngine profile. Departments, locations, managers and custom fields turn into audiences you can combine, and they update on every sync.

Built for hourly and frontline teams

Frontline people rarely sit at a desk. Mobile numbers from your HR data put them on SMS and WhatsApp, QR posters on site open the hub, and replies come back to your team.

Read, or read and write

Most teams start read-only. If you want ChangeEngine to send data back to UKG Pro, you approve write access for specific fields, every change is logged, and you can switch it off at any time.

Setup

Live in about two weeks.

Your services team runs the setup with IT. When you need something that is not in the box, your forward deployed engineer builds it.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they connect

Does ChangeEngine support UKG org levels?

Yes. UKG Pro org levels, locations and employee type map into ChangeEngine as audience fields, so you can target a district, a site or one job family.

How do we reach employees without a company email?

Use the mobile numbers already in UKG. ChangeEngine sends by SMS and WhatsApp and checks who has a number before anything goes out.

Can we use our custom UKG Pro fields?

Yes. Custom fields map the same way as standard ones, so you can target, personalize or trigger a program on anything your team already keeps up to date in UKG Pro.

How long does it take to connect UKG Pro?

Most teams are live with HRIS and SSO in about two weeks. IT approves the connection, we map fields with you on a call, and your audiences fill themselves.

Is our UKG Pro data secure in ChangeEngine?

Yes. ChangeEngine is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, you choose US, EU or Canadian data residency, and AI providers are contractually barred from training on your data.

Can ChangeEngine write data back to UKG Pro?

Yes, if you want it to. Most teams start read-only. You can turn on write access for the specific fields you approve, every change is logged, and UKG Pro stays your system of record.
