Engaging a Global Workforce: Latest Release of the Kronos Workforce Central Suite Helps Organizations Make Smarter, More Engaging Decisions
Kronos
Incorporated today announced an array of enhancements to the Kronos
Workforce Central suite that will help human resources (HR) leaders
better understand human capital trends within their organization;
empower employees to take even more ownership of their work schedules
through mobile self-service; and further mitigate compliance risk
associated with complex and often challenging international labor laws.
News Facts

Making Data-driven Decisions: Advanced HR Reporting Tools Help
Identify Workforce Trends Before Problems Arise
-
To help organizations of all sizes and across all industries
develop and retain the most engaged workforce possible, the latest
release of Workforce Central features advanced HR reporting
capabilities that will make it simple for HR leaders to use
workforce data related to performance, hiring, turnover, and other
areas to make people-centric decisions.
-
Dashboards, which provide at-a-glance, detailed visualizations,
shine a spotlight on undiagnosed problems that may be lurking in
heaps of data. For example, turnover analysis will help HR leaders
better understand why employees may be leaving, allowing them to
proactively create programs that address specific areas of concern.
-
Organizations can intuitively build their own dashboards or
leverage additional out-of-the-box reports including new hire
analysis to see average annual pay by tenure to make more informed
compensation decisions, number of new hires by department to
identify potential retention issues, and top candidate sourcing
options to optimize recruiting spend.

Self-service Platform of Choice: 8 Million Employees Now Use Kronos (News - Alert)
Mobile Solutions to Strike Better Work-Life Balance, Enable More
Control of Schedules
-
Introduction of newly configurable access profiles will allow
organizations to tailor the mobile experience an employee receives
by location or device. For example, employers can identify
specific features and information employees can access using the
Kronos mobile solution while they are outside of the workplace -
such as their work schedule, time-off bank, and/or shift-swapping
tools - reinforcing there is no expectation to handle other
work-related matters while off the clock.
-
Mobile punch reminders alert employees and managers of a missed
punch so issues can be resolved before too much time has passed,
while partial timecard approvals provide greater flexibility by
allowing employees to approve timecards at their convenience.
-
Recognizing there is no one-size-fits-all approach to workplace
terminology, Kronos also now allows ustomers the opportunity to
rename modules and replace certain icons within the Kronos
mobile solution to match their own employer brand. For
example, the Accruals module could be renamed "PTO Bank" or "My
Time Off," creating an even more intuitive experience for
employees.
-
Workforce Central now supports 18 languages, including Hindi and
Czech
-
The addition of Hindi - which 600 million people speak as a
primary or secondary language every day - as well as Czech, raises
the total number of languages supported by Workforce Central to
18. Kronos continues to offer a translation toolkit that allows
customers and partners to translate the platform into additional
languages.

Bill Bartow, vice president, global product management, Kronos
"Whether
it is delivering easy-to-read data visualizations to help HR managers
simplify business intelligence needs; providing hourly staff with
mobile solutions that empower them to find greater work-life balance;
or communicating to employees via 18 different languages, Kronos is
focused on delivering a wide array of innovative tools and
technologies to help everyone within an organization feel engaged
through their work experience."

Leah Messenger, project/payroll manager, Aztec Shops Ltd.
"We
have seen numerous benefits across our business since deploying
Workforce Central. The ACA reporting tool is an excellent resource for
managing medical benefits compliance as well as other benefit
checkpoints. Our managers and employees can more easily stay
up-to-date on certification while helping us manage professional
development. Reporting tools have translated into huge time savings,
while the ability to store employee documents in one place helped us
go paperless and eliminate a lot of admin work, empowering both
managers and employees to focus on other important work they need to
get done. With the new enhancements, we're excited about the new
business intelligence reporting, which we're confident will assist our
HR team in many ways by arming us with pertinent data to make the best
business decisions possible."

Mark Smith, CEO and chief research officer, Ventana Research
"Identifying
engagement trends and understanding the drivers behind them is a
critical need for every organization. With its latest enhancements to
the Workforce Central suite, Kronos continues to make it simpler for
everyone in an organization - including HR, operations, and
senior/executive leadership - to fully leverage valuable workforce
data to make better decisions about their people and personnel."
