Reflections from @UKGInc's Spring Global Analyst Day | May 28, 2026 The workforce technology market has entered a new phase. For the past several years, technology providers have focused on digitization, cloud migration, employee experience and more recently, artificial intelligence. Today, the conversation is evolving beyond individual technologies toward something much larger: creating intelligent systems capable of connecting workforce data, business processes, decisions and outcomes. That shift was on full display during UKG’s Spring Global Analyst Day on May 28, 2026. As a Brandon Hall Group Smartchoice® Preferred Provider, UKG continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and customer success across workforce management, human capital management, pay and employee experience. 🔗 hubs.la/Q04kt5Rk0

Most organizations aren't facing a talent shortage. They're facing a matching problem. Brandon Hall Group™ research shows only 1 in 5 organizations applies a standardized screening process consistently. Qualified candidates slip through, hiring slows down, and quality of hire suffers. In our upcoming roundtable with isolved, we're unpacking what's actually broken in modern hiring and how to fix it. Join us to explore: 🎯 Why resume-first filtering is costing you great hires 🤖 Where AI genuinely helps and where it adds risk without human judgment ⚡ How to build skills-based, fair, and faster hiring workflows Designed for HR leaders, TA executives, and recruiting teams ready to modernize how they hire. 🔗 hubs.ly/Q04k4BKQ0 #TalentAcquisition #FutureOfWork #HRTech #AI #Hiring #BHGWebinars #BrandonHallGroup #isolved

The real question organizations should be asking isn't whether AI belongs in learning creation. It's which platforms can help learning teams move faster without sacrificing quality, governance, or the learner experience. Our Chief Strategy Officer and Principal Analyst, Michael Rochelle, explores what the rebranding of Courseau to CreateUpon signals for the broader learning technology market and why it matters for enterprise learning leaders right now. The gap between subject matter expertise and scalable content creation has been a persistent bottleneck. AI-native platforms like CreateUpon are starting to close it. But speed alone isn't the answer. The platforms that will win pair AI-generated content with instructional structure, source governance, and a focus on learner engagement. The shift toward AI-native learning creation isn't coming. It's already here. Read the full piece: hubs.la/Q04jWGY70 #LearningAndDevelopment #HRTech #LearningTechnology #AI #WorkplaceLearning

Here's the hard truth about L&D right now: Finishing a course isn't success. A good survey score isn't success.

One of the biggest announcements from @SAP Sapphire this month is SAP’s move beyond automated HR into what SuccessFactors calls the Autonomous Enterprise. Heidi Grecsek, Managing Director at Brandon Hall Group, explains why it matters. AI is evolving from workflow automation into systems that can interpret context, make recommendations, and act on behalf of the business. This shifts the focus from productivity to enterprise-wide intelligence across people, operations, finance, and customer experience. It also raises important questions around governance, workforce readiness, and balancing AI with human judgment.
