Forecast Sees a Buoyant Workforce-Management Market

There’s a lot that businesses have to do today to remain competitive, because mobility has become the byword and the shifting communication landscape has modern solutions replacing traditional ones. Workplaces have changed and workforce management (WFM) techniques are keeping pace -- a trend that the research firm, ResearchandMarkets, says is catching on.

In a mobile-driven era, it is but natural that mobile-based WFM concepts gain precedence. In workplaces, smartphones and tablets are being used to access remote information, and even the corporate sector is actually encouraging the BYOD trend. This means that working from remote locations is gathering momentum. So it’s easy to see why the WFM market is poised for growth.

The report also focuses on workforce solutions that are best suited for asset-intensive industries, where field operations teams require connections outside their offices. Solutions that work in offices are obviously not suited for onsite and out-of-office; hence, mobility WFM holds sway.

Given the fact that mobile WFM solutions can also do whatever traditional methods can do and more, it’s pretty obvious that they will only gather steam in the years to come.

Hence, as the need of the hour is to improve productivity, the deployment of WFM software that allows organizations to schedule various activities of the workforce in a timely manner and remove inefficiencies in operations, is of paramount importance. But, it’s equally important to choose the right solution from among the many in the market.

Kronos (News - Alert) offers mobile applications suitable for smartphones and tablets. The company says its solutions are configurable, easy to implement, scale, and maintain, and hence ideal for helping organizations of all sizes and industries better manage their workforce in the cloud.

With the global WFM market forecast to grow steadily in the next few years, companies like Kronos are bound to be in demand.
