As workforce management becomes increasingly dynamic, organizing employees into meaningful groups is more than an administrative task—it’s a strategic advantage. Employee grouping with CloudApper enables UKG users to build smarter group logic that reflects their workforce in real time, enhances visibility, and improves operational efficiency.

To understand how this capability is being applied across industries, we spoke with several HR and operations professionals using CloudApper alongside UKG. Their insights reveal just how impactful employee grouping can be.

Manufacturing: Grouping Without IT Dependencies

Rachel T., an HRIS Manager in the manufacturing sector, shared that custom logic without code has completely streamlined their grouping process. Her team used to rely on spreadsheets and manual input, but now they group employees dynamically using job titles, certifications, and location fields—all without involving IT.

Retail: Real-Time Adjustments Across Locations

Marcus B., a senior HR consultant supporting a large retail chain, described the solution as giving HR “superpowers.” With high employee turnover and frequent role changes, the ability to adapt groupings on the fly has helped operations stay aligned across locations.

Healthcare: Compliance Made Easier

Dana R., a compliance director at a healthcare organization, emphasized the role of employee grouping in maintaining regulatory standards. Her team uses CloudApper to track certifications and unit assignments for clinical staff. The result: more accurate staffing plans and easier audits.

Education: Better Planning and Scheduling

Kevin M., a workforce analyst at an educational institution, pointed to improved reporting and scheduling. By grouping adjunct faculty by department and academic term, the institution can better plan course loads and availability. Dashboards offer real-time insight—something they didn’t have before integrating CloudApper.
