Kronos Workforce Ready Propels Organizations to New Heights through Unified Human Capital Management
KronosWorks™ - Kronos
Incorporated today announced that organizations across all
industries are experiencing success with Kronos
Workforce Ready, the unified Human
Capital Management (HCM) platform that helps organizations attract
and retain top talent, better engage the workforce, and manage the
employee lifecycle from pre-hire to retire.
News Facts
-
The rapid adoption of the Kronos (News - Alert) Workforce Ready suite has showed no
signs of slowing over the past 12 months, with the number of
organizations leveraging the platform increasing another 45 percent.
-
More organizations are choosing to unlock the full potential of
Workforce Ready. There has been a 48 percent increase in full-suite
adoption over the past 12 months as more customers deploy HR -
including recruiting and onboarding, performance and compensation
management, and benefits administration - as well as time and
attendance, and payroll in a single system of record.
-
Global growth is surging too, as the platform's international customer
count has more than doubled in the last year, increasing 110 percent.
Workforce Ready is presently available in Australia, Canada, parts of
continental Europe, Mexico, the U.K., and New Zealand.
-
The success of Workforce Ready is driven by continual
strategic product innovation at Kronos. Deep functionality, an
intuitive user experience, and overall product value are repeatedly
cited as key reasons Workforce Ready helps organizations better engage
employees, drive productivity, and minimize compliance risk.
-
Community Connections - Community Connections employs
direct care professionals that provide day habilitation services
at multiple locations. Prior to selecting Workforce Ready, it
utilized spreadsheets to record payroll. Employee timekeeping was
also manual and paper-based, as was the calculation of leave and
accruals - diverting the HR team's focus from more strategic
tasks, such as recruiting top talent and supporting employee
engagement. Community Connections now offers a modern, intuitive,
and unified Kronos HCM solution that simplifies HR, time and
attendance, payroll, and Affordable Care Act compliance for the HR
staff and its employees allowing everyone to remain focused on
providing the highest levels of care and support possible.
-
Texas Book Company - Texas Book Company turned to Workforce
Ready to seamlessly scale its workforce to more efficiently meet
seasonal demand. The retail operation doubles its employee count
across 30 stores during peak seasons. Kronos helps Texas Book
Company easily recruit and onboard the most qualified candidates,
administer benefits, conduct performance reviews, automate the
Affordable Care Act filing process, and accurately process
payroll. With a single employee record, employee information
automatically populates into timekeeping and scheduling. Real-time
visibility into workforce data allows managers to track important
metrics, such as sales per labor hour, while self-service tools
provide employees with anytime access to schedule and accrual
information. In addition to scaling up to meet seasonal demand,
Workforce Ready makes it quick and simple for Texas Book Company
to identify and invite back top performers the following season.
-
The Thompson Group - The Thompson Group delivers automotive
sales and services across multiple locatios. Workforce Ready
replaced time-consuming, manual processes previously performed at
the company, such as the annual processing of W-2s. Paper-based
requests have also been eliminated, improving the tracking of
accruals and commission-based compensation, both of which
employees can now view via a mobile application. Increased
visibility into employee data also helps The Thompson Group take a
proactive approach to compliance, better managing requirements
related to the Affordable Care Act, Family and Medical Leave Act,
and other regional regulations.
Supporting Quotes

Amy Wade, IT director, Community Connections
"We needed a
human capital management solution - HR, time and attendance, payroll,
and ACA reporting - in a unified platform with one employee record.
With Kronos Workforce Ready, we've been able to empower our HR team to
spend more time both recruiting the most talented care professionals
and ensuring we develop and retain them through strong employee
engagement initiatives. This winning strategy helps Community
Connections improve client satisfaction."
-
Matt Thomas, director of innovations and HR, Ekas
"Kronos
has added value to our business, we have reduced the manual process in
handling payroll and we have seen a significant reduction in labor
costs"
-
Jennifer Gray, human resources director, The Thompson Group
"The
Kronos Workforce Ready HCM platform has helped The Thompson Group
succeed because it is able to do everything in a single solution.
Whether it is accelerating time-consuming HR processes, managing the
complex pay rules in place at our organization, or ensuring that our
employees are paid correctly on time, every time, Kronos does the
heavy lifting so our managers and employees can focus on delivering
the best service possible to our customers."
-
Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst, Constellation
Research
"In today's highly competitive business environment,
an organization's employees are its most valuable asset. In order to
succeed, HR departments must evolve beyond their traditional role as
the policy police and become a strategic business partner with a voice
in corporate decision making. It is good to see this philosophy
finding itself in software today, elevating the ability of small,
mid-sized, and large organizations to achieve this goal. By replacing
manual, error-prone, paper-based processes with modern technology, HR
leaders can serve a more strategic role by building programs that
improve employee engagement and develop better managers and leaders."
-
Bob DelPonte, vice president and general manager, HCM practice
group, Kronos
"Great organizations are powered by great
people. This is the belief that drives everything we do at Kronos and
the type of workforce that Kronos HCM solutions helps businesses
create and manage. With one unified platform for the entire workforce,
whether it be hourly or salary, Kronos provides a single-source view
of real-time data, helping managers increase employee engagement,
drive productivity, mitigate compliance concerns, and make better
informed and more strategic business decisions."
