Kronos Workforce Ready Empowers Employees and Managers with a Reimagined Mobile Experience
Committed to delivering an engaging mobile-first approach to human
resources, workforce management, and payroll, Kronos
Incorporated today introduced an entirely reimagined mobile
experience for the Kronos
Workforce Ready human capital management (HCM) cloud suite. In
addition to empowering employees and managers with on-the-go access to a
wide array of vital tools, organizations will benefit from an enhanced
applicant portal that makes it quicker and simpler for candidates to
apply from a smartphone or tablet, as well as compliance enhancements to
help organizations mitigate risk in today's complex regulatory landscape.
News Facts
-
Engage the entire workforce - whether hourly or salaried, an
employee or manager - with a consumer-grade, device-agnostic mobile
experience
-
The redesigned Workforce Ready mobile
application features a responsive user interface (UI),
providing employees and managers with the ability to complete
critical tasks on any device and at any time.
-
Upon login, configurable in-app tiles surface the information that
is most important to an individual's role. For example, an
employee may opt to see their schedule, edit their timecard, and
review benefits election status from the home screen. Managers and
HR administrators can see alerts, exceptions, and requests that
require attention, then take immediate action to resolve them
without navigating to additional screens.
-
Users can complete nearly any action - including benefits
enrollment, self-service scheduling, punching, and even accessing
important payroll and tax information - in just a couple of taps
on the screen.
-
Attract the very best job candidates with a completely reimagined
applicant experience
-
Workforce Ready's applicant portal is optimized for mobile devices
to help organizations more readily attract and hire the growing
population of candidates who exclusively utilize tablets and
smartphones in their job search.
-
Job openings are quickly located with the fewest number of taps on
the screen with tools like predictive smart search, making
navigation even more user friendly, and mobile-first job panels
provide immediate access to position details and requirements. An
intuitive application view coupled with existing resume-parsing
tools make it even faster to complete all forms.
-
To cut down on abandoned applications and candidate bounce rates
even further, easy-to-view sidebar navigation clearly communicates
each step of the application and a progress bar keeps candidates
updated as they near completion, encouraging them to finish the
process.
-
Human resources and talent acquisition professionals can make
their applicant portal more memorable with expanded empoyer
branding opportunities that ensure the portal is reflective of
their culture and closely aligned with existing employer branding.
-
Navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape with an
experienced partner to help mitigate compliance risk
-
California, New York City, and other states and municipalities are
enacting paid sick leave requirements that expand this benefit
beyond its traditional scope. Workforce Ready includes processes
for eligible employees to request and claim paid sick leave as
well as safeguards to ensure they do not take more time than
allowed.
-
Massachusetts, Oregon, and Puerto Rico are among nine cities,
states, and U.S. territories banning salary history questions for
job candidates. As more follow suit and regulations continue to
change, safeguards within the recruiting module help
mitigate risk associated with collecting applicant employment
history.

Bob DelPonte, vice president and general manager, Workforce Ready
Group, Kronos (News - Alert)
"In today's always-on and on-the-go culture,
providing managers and employees with the ability to negotiate the
demands of work and home-life from the device of their choice is a
core pillar needed to support a highly engaged workforce. With
Workforce Ready's enhanced mobile experience, managers are liberated
from the back office: they can address employee requests, resolve
alerts and exceptions, and make critical decisions with real-time
information from anywhere, at any time. Employees are also equally
empowered to take control of their work schedules, access payroll and
tax information, and even complete previously complex actions like
benefits enrollment in just a couple of taps on a screen."

Steve Goldberg, vice president and research director, Ventana
Research
"Two of the most important drivers of workforce
performance and operational excellence are actionable analytics and
mobile technology. These factors were cited, respectively, by 76
percent and 49 percent of organizations surveyed in our HCM benchmark
research. The accelerated adoption of Workforce Ready is no doubt
being fueled by the high-value analytics Kronos has developed through
its unified database across human resources, workforce management and
payroll; and Kronos' Workforce Ready native mobile application offers
the type of employee experience that maximizes both engagement and
productivity."
