-
Leverage a solution for a global workforce - Building on
successful deployments in many countries, Kronos (News - Alert) and
SuccessFactors offer global expertise and the ability to
accommodate complex labor rules, pay policies, and help ensure
successful talent management. Deploying in the cloud enables these
organizations to reduce administrative costs; shorten learning
curves for managers and employees; and expedite system-wide policy

globally as labor information flows quickly and can be viewed at a
site, area, country, or enterprise level.

measure and manage their business metrics with real-time alerts on
potential labor issues that can help improve decision making,
responsiveness, and efficiency.

Link strategy to execution - The solution links planning
tools to achieve a greater understanding of employee costs,
schedules, and performance. This feature works across functional
boundaries and helps improve the translation of workforce strategy
into business results.

SuccessFactors is on two levels:

The synchronization of employee demographics, cost centers, and
pay codes.

organizations drive business outcomes and deliver bottom-line
results.
