Pat Wadors serves as chief people officer (CPO) of UKG. In this role, Pat’s day to day responsibilities are driven by her deep commitment to the entire employee experience — starting from a job candidate’s first touch with UKG to building a strong alumni network of brand and culture ambassadors — and all the moments that matter in between. Pat oversees the critical HR functions that bring this experience to life, including talent acquisition and development, compensation and benefits, employee listening and people analytics, employee communications, HR technology, HR business consultants and shared services, and components of workplaces services and physical security. Her personal mission is to ensure that U Krewers around the world are better people for having worked at UKG.

 

Pat shares how she became an advocate for introverts, navigating through her career as an introverted C-level executive, working with introverts in the corporate workplace, and much more!

 

“Talking about my introversion opened up the door on how to dance with my extroverted partners, how to lead people with different styles…” Why didn’t I talk about it sooner?!”
