In this episode of Spilling the Tea on HR Tech, Stacey Harris and Cliff Stevenson deliver breaking news and insights from both the UKG Aspire and Dayforce Discover 2024 conferences. They discuss significant leadership changes at UKG, including the appointment of Arlen Shenkman as President and CFO, and analyze what these moves mean for the industry. This conversation also breaks down EQT’s acquisition of PageUp and ServiceNow's latest strategic moves in operational technology.
