UKG Announces Canada's ATS Traffic Firm Using Its People Technologies Tools

UKG, a leading provider of HR, payroll, and workforce management (WFM) solutions, announced that ATS Traffic, one of Canada’s leading traffic control and safety providers, is using UKG people technologies to expedite time-to-hire and create an engaging experience for new employees.

ATS Traffic provides traffic control solutions to organizations and communities across Canada, including work zone design and set up, lane closures and detours, as well as manufacturing and installing traffic signs and barricades. Prior to UKG, the company’s human capital management (HCM) and WFM processes were manual and time consuming, based on spreadsheets, email, and paper, according to the company. With its full-suite UKG solution, the company says that ATS Traffic has removed the complexity from its HR practices and experienced significant results, specifically in onboarding new employees.

“ATS Traffic is one of the thousands of organizations globally that have chosen to partner with UKG, so they don’t miss the mark on their hiring and staffing goals,” said UKG CEO Chris Todd. “By using UKG to make onboarding and other parts of the operation dramatically more efficient, ATS Traffic can instead focus on keeping the communities they serve safer, and their people more empowered and engaged.”

So, partnering with a company like Perkbox that is equally as committed will help continue our journey to modernize the employee pay experience on a global scale.”
