UKG Pro HCM · Pulse Check Assessment
Is your HCM platform working as hard as your people do?
Most organizations running UKG Pro are capturing a fraction of its capability: managing payroll reactively, onboarding inefficiently, and leaving compliance exposure completely invisible. The Improv Pulse Check changes that in about a week.
1 week
to a complete HCM health scorecard and prioritized action roadmap
6
executive-ready deliverables, from scorecard to ROI analysis
3
levels of depth, from Pulse Check to Rehab Audit
6
assessment pillars covering every dimension of HCM performance
HCM expertise that goes deeper than configuration.
Most UKG Pro assessments stop at system settings. Improv evaluates the full picture, technology, process, people, and strategy, because sustainable HCM performance requires all four working in concert.
-
Our advisors have thousands of hours inside UKG Pro across HR, Payroll, Benefits, and Talent, not generalist HCM consultants who just learned the product last quarter.
-
Full scorecard, findings, roadmap, and ROI analysis, delivered in a single week. We move at the speed of your business, not a consulting project timeline.
-
From healthcare and manufacturing to retail, financial services, and public sector, we bring HCM benchmarks and patterns from every vertical UKG Pro serves.
-
The Pulse Check ends with a funded, prioritized roadmap your team can execute, with or without Improv at the table.
Six Pillars. One Complete Picture of Your HCM Health.
The Improv UKG Pro HCM Pulse Check evaluates every dimension of your Human Capital Management environment, from core HR data to organizational readiness, across any industry and any organization size.
Core HR & People Data
Assess the foundation of your UKG Pro environment: org structure, job and position management, employee records, custom fields, and data governance. Configuration and data errors here compound into payroll, compliance, and reporting problems across every module.
Payroll Configuration
Diagnose the integrity of your pay calculations, tax configuration, deduction sequencing, off-cycle processing, and payroll reconciliation workflows. Most payroll errors originate in configuration, not human error, and compound with every processing cycle.
Benefits Administration
Examine plan setup accuracy, eligibility rules, life event workflows, carrier feed reliability, and open enrollment readiness. Benefits errors create employee relations issues, financial liability, and regulatory exposure simultaneously.
Talent Acquisition
Review recruiting workflow configuration, requisition management, offer automation, background check integration, and new hire onboarding completion. The distance between a signed offer and a productive employee is where most organizations leave the most value behind.
Compliance & Audit
Review ACA reporting, I-9 documentation, FLSA configuration, multi-state tax setup, and audit trails, along with the accuracy of the reports leadership relies on. Exposure here is rarely visible until an audit finds it.
Organizational Readiness
Determine whether your team has the ownership, capacity, and people analytics visibility to act on what UKG Pro can tell you. Most organizations have the data in UKG Pro, but not the structure to act on it.
Six deliverables. Delivered in one week.
Every Pulse Check produces a complete, executive-ready package, not a list of observations. You leave with scored findings, a prioritized roadmap, and quantified ROI your leadership team can act on immediately.

ROI & Cost Avoidance Analysis
