Ascend, Inc.

We’re still over the moon about Ascend, Inc. being named UKG’s Partner of the Year at last week’s Sales Kickoff in Nashville! Now, if we were to write a country song about this incredible honor, what would our song include? The first verse highlights the innovative, creative, and strategic planning assistance we offer to UKG-using clients; the second verse would be on collaborating with UKG and influencing for a #bettertogether client experience; the third verse would feature our white glove, "Partner for Life" approach. The refrain on repeat? Our incredible team’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to delivering exceptional value to our customers every single day, and setting the gold standard in a UKG partner. Even if it's our song, we'd like to know that we're playing your song too. Ascend with us! #UKGPartner #PartnerOfTheYear #UKGSKO2025 #BetterTogether #TogetherWeAscend
