Kronos Workforce Ready Continues to Transform Human Resources with Addition of Dynamic Talent Acquisition and Performance Management Applications
Kronos
Incorporated today introduced Kronos (News - Alert) Workforce
Ready Talent Acquisition and Workforce
Ready Performance Management, powerful new applications within the Kronos
Workforce Ready human capital management (HCM) cloud platform. These
modules further enhance the existing talent acquisition and performance
management capabilities of Workforce Ready to help organizations
attract, develop, and retain an engaged workforce.
News Facts
-
Workforce Ready Talent Acquisition helps organizations source,
track, and evaluate candidates while leveraging internal workforce
metrics to identify best-fit talent without compromising time-to-hire
and cost-to-hire goals.
-
Identify - and hire - top candidates: Workforce Ready
Talent Acquisition automates and streamlines job requisitions,
recruiting, and hiring processes to support a truly paperless HCM
environment, eliminating manual and duplicate data entry. Hiring
managers can proactively source candidates through their
organization's own careers page (and soon via integration with
popular online job boards) while assigning pre-screening questions
to quickly narrow down the pool of qualified candidates;
-
Enhance the applicant experience: Candidates benefit from a
modern online application and can auto-populate application fields
with their LinkedIn (News - Alert) profile or resume-parsing tools, while
Workforce Ready optimizes pre-hire engagement with automated
notifications and configurable email communications to keep
applicants informed during the hiring stage; and
-
Onboard like a pro: Configurable dashboards offer simple,
at-a-glance visual updates to monitor applicant status while
onboarding checklists provide a seamless and consistent experience
for all new hires to ensure their transition from applicant to
employee begins with an engaging start.
-
Workforce Ready Performance Management supports the development
of employees on a continuous basis to align the entire organization
for ongoing success.
-
Establish clear goals for all employees: Organizations can
define organizational goals that cascade down to groups and
individual employees to ensure everyone - both salaried and hourly
employees - is working toward the same mission, understands how
their role impacts overall team performance, and knows what is
expected to advance within the organization;
-
Deliver real-time, evidence-based feedback: Performance
development tools enable managers to empower employees with
ongoing feedback based on real-time data to increase engagement
and retention. Soon, managers will also have the option of
leveraging attendance, absence, productivity, and safety data
within Workforce Ready to create a complete review that includes
all relevant information; and
-
Drive employee development: Help employees grow as
professionals by identifying new training opportunities to develop
additional skills or achieve/retain valuable certifications.
Because Workforce Ready is a unified platform, Workforce Ready
Performance Management shares data the Workforce Ready HR
application to help define necessary training courses, schedule
internal classes, monitor open seats, and report employee
participation.
-
In addition to the talent acquisition and performance management
applications, Workforce Ready customers will also benefit from
enhanced scheduling and attestation tools.
-
Create better schedules: Workforce Ready's advanced
scheduling engine now generates optimized schedules that consider
an employee's skills, certifications, and other factors important
to the organization (such as seniority) to make sure the right
person is scheduled at the right place and time. Self-service
tools will also soon offer employees transparency and autonomy
into schedule making by allowing them to pick open shifts based on
their qualifications.
-
Attest to accuracy: Workforce
Ready Attestation empowers employees to attest to the accuracy
of their total hours worked and whether they received mandated
rest and / or meal breaks. Attestation integrates fully with
Workforce Ready Time Keeping and the Kronos InTouch and helps
organizations simplify and streamline adherence to state, local,
union, and other policies to minimize compliance risk.
-
A unified HCM platform, Workforce Ready was recently honored by HRO
Today with a TekTonic Award for innovative and disruptive
technology. Workforce Ready supports the entire employee lifecycle,
including HR, talent acquisition, performance management, benefits and
compensation, scheduling, time and attendance, ACA management,
attestation, and payroll, while also offering an online
marketplace with complementary, integrated services and
applications.

Chris Lampe, director, human resources, Deer Valley Resort
"At
Deer Valley, we need an engaged workforce to be successful and our
employees are central to providing the quality experience that our
guests have come to expect. Kronos Workforce Ready provides an
inviting experience from the onset of the talent acquisition process,
through the critical onboarding phase and during an employee's
complete tenure with us. Because we're a seasonal resort destination,
Workforce Ready also makes it easy to identify and invite back top
performers for the following year. Deploying a cloud HCM platform that
encompasses human resources, workforce management, and payroll makes
it simpler for Deer Valley to attract, develop, and retain a committed
workforce."

Michael Rochelle, chief strategy officer and principal HCM analyst,
Brandon Hall Group
"Kronos continues to deliver on the
promise of a full-suite approach to HCM cloud software. While
Workforce Ready has long offered talent acquisition and performance
management, the introduction of a dedicated application for each
function will allow Kronos to develop even more innovative and
engaging tools for HR professionals that will help organizations
ensure they're recruiting and developing their top talent."
-
Bob DelPonte, vice president and general manager, HCM practice
group, Kronos
"Human resource professionals continue to take
on a more strategic role as organizations compete to attract and
retain top talent, develop and engage their workforce, and more
effectively manage the employee lifecycle from pre-hire to retire. Too
often, manual processes and time-consuming administrative work detract
from HR's ability to act strategically and concentrate on their
people. This is especially true with talent acquisition and
performance management. The introduction of dedicated modules within
Workforce Ready will make it even more efficient for organizations to
identify best-fit talent and provide powerful tools for managers to
help all employees - both salaried or hourly - develop in a meaningful
way. Workforce Ready has always supported these critical business
functions and will continue to deliver new and unique innovations made
possible through our unified platform approach."
