HR-tech company UKG plans to add 200 to Indianapolis office – Indianapolis Business Journal

Human-resources expertise firm UKG Inc. stands to land as much as $2.5 million in state incentives primarily based on the corporate’s plans so as to add 200 staff at its Indianapolis workplace.

UKG, which stands for Final Kronos Group, was fashioned in 2020 when Kronos Inc. and Final Software program merged. It affords a software program platform for dealing with payroll, timekeeping, worker scheduling and different human-resources features.

The corporate has twin headquarters in Lowell, Massachusetts, and Weston, Florida, and employs practically 15,000 folks worldwide, together with greater than 300  at its downtown Indianapolis workplace.

On the finish of final 12 months, UKG’s Indianapolis workplace had 310 staff. The corporate has been hiring since then and its aim is to have 510 staff by the top of 2024. The corporate is including positions in a number of departments, together with software program implementation consultants and venture managers.

Doug Ding, the corporate’s senior apply director, mentioned he expects greater than 50% of the brand new hires to work primarily from the workplace.

“As an organization whose function is folks and has a deep deal with our tradition, many people have missed in-person camaraderie and we’re hoping to see the vast majority of our groups again within the Indy workplace by the top of the 12 months,” Ding mentioned in a written assertion.

The Indiana Financial Growth Corp. supplied UKG as much as $2.3 million in tax credit and $200,000 in conditional coaching grants. The incentives are performance-based, which means that the corporate can declare them solely after it hires and trains staff.

In response to the IEDC’s on-line transparency portal, the incentives contract was finalized in mid-April and the IEDC has already paid out $81,535 in tax credit primarily based on UKG’s progress in the direction of its hiring objectives.
