Hi, all. I thought I’d give Ben a break from articles this week and talk a bit about the upcoming UKG Aspire conference in Las Vegas, November 11-14, 2024. Extanto has been asked to represent our partner Textmetrics and their job ad generator at the conference. I had the privilege of attending Aspire in 2022 and was really impressed by both the people I had the chance to meet and converse with as well as the businesses that were represented.
Textmetrics is a part of the UKG Diversity Accelerator Program, and we were part of the DAP booth at Aspire, speaking to the work that Textmetrics is doing to support diversity and inclusion in business environments.
The DAP “funnels highly targeted and meaningful support and resources to the diverse-owned and diversity-focused technology ecosystem while helping to maximize supplier diversity in the human capital management (HCM) market.” Per the UKG Diversity Accelerator Program description, “Technology partners accepted into the Diversity Accelerator Program pay no annual fee to join one of the world’s largest and most collaborative partner networks wholly focused on the HCM industry, and receive free engineering and architectural support, go-to-market strategy planning, marketing resources, and business and leadership coaching to help grow their businesses. Partners additionally gain access to more than 70,000 UKG customers worldwide through the UKG Marketplace, an expansive hub that connects customers with innovative solutions and services to create more inclusive employee experiences for all.”
Being a part of this program has given us great exposure as a representative of Textmetrics within the UKG ecosystem and has given us the chance to promote diversity and Textmetrics to so many UKG clients.
I’m very excited to get back to Aspire this year.
I believe that UKG really should be applauded for putting the idea of diversity front and center in an event such as this. They lead by example, not by preaching, but by demonstrating that the concept of diversity is important to them personally and professionally.
This is how it’s done.
