Healthcare Depth Without Enterprise Complexity.
UKG is one of the world's most recognized workforce management platforms with deep healthcare roots. But for a Canadian LTC home or care facility, “world-class” shouldn't mean overwhelming, overpriced, and over-engineered. GoEasyCare gives you the capabilities you actually need — built for Canada, sized for your organization.
About UKG
UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) is a major US-based workforce management and HCM platform formed from the merger of Kronos and Ultimate Software. It serves more than 80,000 customers globally and partners with over 3,500 hospitals and 10,000 post-acute and senior care facilities. UKG Pro Workforce Management is consistently recognized as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader.
UKG's healthcare tools are sophisticated: AI-guided scheduling, provider on-call management (UKG EZCall), clinical shift optimization, and detailed workforce analytics. For large health systems running thousands of employees across dozens of facilities, UKG is a serious platform.
For a Canadian care operator running one to twenty facilities, UKG typically means: enterprise-level pricing not built for your budget, a steep learning curve that overwhelms schedulers and nurses alike, an implementation process measured in months, and a US-centric product focus with Canadian payroll as a supported market — not a core design principle.
GoEasyCare was built from day one for the Canadian healthcare mid-market — with the depth you need and none of the overhead you don't.

Why Canadian Care Organizations Choose GoEasyCare Over UKG
“We evaluated UKG and the functionality was there — but so was the price tag and the complexity. Our schedulers are already working 12-hour shifts. They don't need another system that takes months to learn. GoEasyCare felt like it was made for us.”
