How Can Kronos Software Help Your Company?

Kronos software can help your company modernize and simplify the way that employee information is obtained, stored, and used without breaking the bank. Kronos Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model delivers on-demand services per employee, per month (PEPM). Mobile accessibility is provided at no additional charge via the Workforce Ready Mobile application, available for Apple® iPhone®, Windows Mobile, and Android® platforms.

Make HR Management More Convenient

The Workforce Ready Mobile Solution allows employees and managers to view schedules, timesheets, and time off balances while on the go. Employees can even request time off within seconds and check to see whether the time was approved using the app. Managers can view a listing of employees, approve time off requests, and view reports while working out in the field using the app.

Find and Retain Top Talent

Workforce Ready helps recruiters and hiring managers source, track, and evaluate talent while providing a positive, consistent applicant experience. Candidates can easily search jobs and apply online, while managers can post job requisitions, screen and accept applications, and track applicants throughout the pre-hire process. Employees are engaged from the very start with configurable onboarding tools. Organizations can manage and nurture employee development with cascading goals and performance management tools that help managers provide continuous feedback and build a positive employee experience. Workforce Ready also makes benefit plans easier for administrators to set up and manage — which is further aided by employee self-service.

Better Reporting and Visibility

Kronos software makes it possible for managers and employers to access up-to-the minute data from the entire organization. The information is organized into easy-to-read reports that can be viewed in dashboards — pulled from a single database — so that decisions can be made based on facts and figures. These features can help bring greater consistency to organizations with multiple locations, as data from all units is easily viewable in one convenient place.

Improve Compliance

While many HRMS software solutions assist with compliance readiness, Kronos takes it a step further with the Kronos Workforce Ready ACA Manager™. The Affordable Care Act and surrounding compliance requirements are intricate, ACA Manager helps to simplify those items to help manage compliance risks and avoid financial consequences. Kronos Workforce Ready ACA Manager allows managers to view and make changes to benefit information for employees with differing scheduling needs, providing assistance and information to manage compliance requirements with benefit offerings and reporting.
