The Las Vegas Raiders have named UKG as their workforce management platform of record, according to a Business Wire press release. The partnership is designed to consolidate workforce operations across what the announcement describes as both the football and business functions of the franchise — a dual mandate that reflects the operational complexity modern sports organizations must manage.
NFL franchises operate as layered enterprises: front-office staff, stadium and event operations, coaching and athletic staff, media and marketing teams, and game-day workforces can involve hundreds or thousands of workers with vastly different scheduling, compliance, and payroll needs. Deploying a unified WFM platform to span those populations signals a maturation in how professional sports teams approach HR technology.
UKG — formed through the 2020 merger of Ultimate Software and Kronos Incorporated — markets a broad suite of HCM and workforce management tools, including scheduling, time and attendance, payroll, and HR service delivery, with increasing AI-driven capabilities woven throughout. The company has pursued partnerships with sports and entertainment organizations as a way to demonstrate its platform's flexibility across complex, shift-intensive workforce environments.
Specific details of the Raiders deal, including which UKG product modules are in scope, the number of employees covered, the contract value, and the go-live timeline, were not disclosed in the announcement. DHRMap will update this story as further details become available.
