UKG Partners with Canada’s Coast Mental Health to Support EX
UKG, a provider of HR, payroll, and workforce management solutions, announced that its human capital management (HCM) suite for supporting employee lifecycles in their entirety is being leveraged by Coast Mental Health, the Vancouver, Canada-based nonprofit firm, to address the complexities of its unionized workforce, inspire employee productivity, and boost the quality of the organization’s services.
Prior to UKG, Coast Mental Health relied on manual, time-consuming HR processes that made it difficult to provide an engaging workplace experience and focus on employee development for the nonprofit, which offers housing and other support services to individuals with mental health challenges. Seeking to become more efficient and resource-conscious with its payroll, workforce management, and HR practices, the organization chose UKG and its comprehensive HCM solution to support the employee experience (EX), from recruiting and onboarding to scheduling and learning.
“UKG has elevated the productivity of our entire organization and helped us provide better service to our clients,” says Deborah Maynard, chief human resources officer at Coast Mental Health. “Managers have more time to support their people, and staff has more time to focus on clients.”
UKG calculated union dues for employees automatically, saving managers significant time each pay period. Maynard says UKG also improved EX by giving staff access to self-service tools so they could retrieve important HR information at any time, from any device. Moreover, the company credits the scalability of UKG with keeping administrative headcount stable while the organization grew. Coast Mental Health also found additional savings by being able to identify payments not entitled under the collective agreement and by substantially reducing the number of manual checks the company needed to produce.
UKG, with dual headquarters in Lowell, Massachusetts, and Weston, Florida, has made HR its core competency. The company provides expertise in employee recruitment, engagement, and development.

NICE Helps the UK’s ScS Group Plc Improve on Various Productivity Metrics
NICE, the provider of an AI-powered self-service and agent-assisted CX software for the contact center, says its CXOne solution is finding great success with UK furniture and flooring specialist ScS Group Plc for its workforce and consumer base.
With 100 stores employing more than 1,700 workers throughout Britain, ScS moved from an outdated on-premise solution to NICE’s agile cloud platform, enabling the digitalization of seven contact channels, including 250 back-office workstreams. And integrating NICE’s Outbound Dialer and the SMS channel with the multiple internal systems of ScS provided immediate value for the company’s outbound sales team, skills-based routing, and call-back functionality at the queue level.

Overall, CXone enabled a 50% reduction in abandoned calls; an 11% improvement in answer rates and the ability to set, monitor, and manage against defined service levels; and a 10% gain in advisor productivity, compared to the same period with the previous ScS on-premise provider. Employee satisfaction scores have also risen, thanks to the implementation of CXOne Workforce Management and a mobile app that allows for better scheduling control and flexibility.
The addition of NICE solutions and services has enabled ScS to create several new roles specific to the platform, aiding career progression and allowing for the continued leveraging of open APIs for enhanced integrations, such as NICE Personal Connection and outbound campaign management, ScS executives say. ScS is also benefiting from NICE Interaction Analytics to build out insights that can be shared across the wider business to identify customer pain points and to help with upselling opportunities.
Feedtrail Expands Partnership with Children’s Hospital of Orange County
Patient experience management firm Feedtrail has expanded its partnership with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) to an enterprise-wide scope. The expansion will leverage the patient experience application and the implementation of Feedtrail’s reputation management module and flexible messaging functionality.
Since deploying the Feedtrail platform in February 2022 in three areas of the hospital, CHOC has created more digital touchpoints to engage patients and their families, and to incorporate their voices across the care continuum. Hospital administrators receive and relay instant, text-based patient and family feedback, personalized to the patient’s unique background and point in their patient journey. In the emergency department, an initial focus area, the organization dramatically increased feedback volume while also leveraging actionable quantitative and qualitative data to improve its Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 54 points in the last five months.
“We have found that having an engaged, emotionally supported staff reverberates across the organization and allows us to go above and beyond for our patients,” says Kat Burton, CHOC manager for patient and family experience. “Partnering with Feedtrail has given us a real-time barometer for the patient experience across multiple departments and a 360-degree approach to incorporating feedback from families and caregivers into our workflow.”
Moving forward, CHOC will introduce the Feedtrail patient experience platform to CHOC at Mission Hospital and the CHOC Physician Network. The organization will also use Feedtrail’s reputation management solution as a way to further enhance its online reputation and to reinforce positive comments from patients and families.
