Kronos Empowers Employees to Achieve Greater Work-Life Balance with Workforce Central Enhancements
KronosWorks - With an unrelenting focus on customer success, Kronos
Incorporated today announced innovative enhancements to the Kronos
Workforce Central suite to help organizations engage and empower
their employees, further control labor costs, minimize compliance risk
and improve productivity.
News Facts
-
Scheduling enhancements help build employee engagement, manage
work-life balance, and minimize regulatory risk
-
Recognizing non-traditional schedules play a critical role in
balancing the demands of today's workforce - such as first
responders - Workforce Central makes it easier for employers to
apply a 9/80 compressed work week, which allows employees to work
80 hours in just nine work days to enable a three-day weekend
every other week.
-
Contract definitions enable employers to ensure employees work a
defined number of hours over a schedule period of up to one year.
This ensures compliance, supports fairness, and helps drive
work-life balance.
-
Additional smart scheduling solutions like grouped arrivals reduce
the number of start-of-the-shift briefings managers must deliver,
while employee schedules can be optimized to match public
transportation schedules, reducing downtime before or after a
shift.
-
Mobile tools simplify data collection and keep employees connected
anywhere, anytime
-
Leveraging the convenience of mobile devices, Workforce Mobile is
now accessible with Touch ID on Apple iPhone or fingerprint
scanning on Android (News - Alert) devices, making access easier, faster, and
more secure.
-
Further extending the capabilities of Workforce Mobile, employees
can now simply swipe their smartphone at an InTouch terminal to
clock-in or clock-out, eliminating the need for - and expense of -
issuing badges to every employee.
-
More than eight million employees now leverage Kronos (News - Alert) mobile
solutions to view work schedules, swap shifts, monitor accruals,
access key HR data, and complete additional self-service tasks.
-
Managers will be more productive with fewer exceptions, streamlined
processes
-
Workforce Central supports the ability to approve overtime for all
employees for the entire pay period in one action.
-
Mobile punch alert reminders enabled by geo-sensing technology
ensure timely employee punching, improving accountability and
reducing the time managers spend on timecard exceptions.
-
Accrual blance management is easier than ever with new
date-of-hire adjustments and recalculations that account for
policy updates, such as promotions or change in employment
contract or status.
-
For retailers, Store Audit monitors store operations, analyze
compliance trends, and assign actionable tasks to improve store
execution.
