Kronos Workforce Ready Introduces Real-Time Performance Management, Succession Planning to Aid Employee Development
KronosWorks - Kronos
Incorporated today introduced innovative and powerful enhancements
to the Kronos
Workforce Ready human
capital management (HCM) suite to support employee development and
growth, including Employee Perspectives, a real-time
performance management tool to facilitate continuous feedback for hourly
employees.
News Facts
-
Employee Perspectives enables real-time performance management for
frontline workers
-
Employee Perspectives enhances hourly workforce performance
reviews with metric-backed scorecards updated in real-time,
allowing an employee to measure their performance against
organizational goals.
-
Leveraging an evidence-based approach that provides
continuous feedback, Employee Perspectives ensures
consistency; increases transparency by clearly communicating how
an employee is performing and what can be done to make
improvements; and injects fairness into compensation decisions by
establishing clear benchmarks that must be achieved.
-
Managers can leverage real-time scorecards when
making strategic scheduling decisions. For example, they may
assign the most critical shifts to employees with high reliability
ratings or provide a desirable shift to an employee with a low
engagement score.
-
Succession Planning helps groom top talent to reach the next level
-
Workforce Ready delivers a configurable talent matrix dashboard
that measures employee performance and potential, allowing
organizations to pinpoint the development needs of their workforce.
-
Employee profiles evaluate an employee's readiness to advance,
potential to contribute, retention risk, and impact their
departure would have on the organization, painting a complete
picture of an individual's contributions to success.
-
By leveraging HR, performance, and workforce data within Workforce
Ready, arbitrary judgements about employee readiness are replaced
with a formal process that encourages a commitment to employee
growth and development through mentorship.
-
Workforce Ready introduces Position Management
-
Position management helps organizations with employees who work
multiple roles that may require different salary amounts,
allowances, vacation and sick time accruals, or benefits and
paycheck deductions.
-
By simplifying the relationship between positions, jobs, and
organizational structure, every position needed to operate the
business exists independent of individual employee roles. This
enables recruiters to have better visibility into staffing needs
and simplifies succession planning.
-
Predictive scheduling compliance removes guesswork from new
schedule stability regulations
-
As more states and municipalities, such as San Francisco and
Seattle, enact schedule stability guidelines, Workforce Ready
introduces specific workflows to streamline additional steps that
must be taken if an employee's schedule is changed within the
regulated timeframe.
-
Within the scheduling module, managers can now enact schedule
change requests that allow an employee to accept or reject
proposed changes.
-
Automated pay rules ensure the employee is accurately compensated
for affected changes, alowing organizations to automatically add
either the pre-determined dollar amount or a specific time total
to the timesheet.
-
A reimagined user experience drives customer success and user
adoption
-
Workforce Ready will soon include a completely redesigned user
experience that delivers a modern, highly intuitive, and
responsive design, providing users with feature parity and a
unified experience across desktop, smart phones and tablets.
-
Expanded mobile self-service tools will empower employees to take
even more control over their benefits, schedules, timecards,
accruals, and work information. Managers can manage on-the-go with
the ability to access additional reports and grant more approvals
than previously possible.
-
The new user interface reimagines the steps of key workflow
processes so they can be completed with the fewest taps on the
screen possible, making it easier than ever to recruit top talent,
develop and engage the workforce, and manage the entire employee
lifecycle from a smart phone or tablet.
-
Release will be phased beginning in December for mobile, followed
by the desktop in 2018.
Supporting Quotes
-
Bob DelPonte, vice president and general manager, Workforce Ready
group, Kronos (News - Alert)
"Continuous performance feedback is an
important tool that helps employees learn, develop, and stay engaged.
With Employee Perspectives, hourly employees will benefit from
this real-time approach. By leveraging an evidence-based strategy that
provides ongoing feedback, organizations can transition from an annual
review cycle that relies on anecdotal and even unintentionally biased
observations to a system that uses the full breadth of workforce data
within Workforce Ready to give employees consistent, transparent, and
fair feedback on their performance and progression every day."
-
Michael Rochelle, chief strategy officer, Brandon Hall Group
"Many
organizations often struggle to build a highly engaged, hourly
workforce. Delivering benefits such as performance management and
professional development - which are usually only associated with
salaried jobs - reinforces that many hourly positions offer a
rewarding career path. Workforce Ready's ability to leverage the
extensive workforce data available within its unified suite to offer
real-time feedback to hourly employees is a powerful example of real
innovation that can help move the employee engagement needle. The
addition of succession planning and position management will also help
organizations advance top talent through the ranks."
-
John Leopold, vice president of technology, Goodwill of Central and
Coastal Virginia
"Workforce Ready is a powerful tool that
helps our organization attract, engage, and develop the
high-performing workforce that is necessary to make a difference in
our communities. It simplifies key business functions, such as
recruiting, performance management, and payroll, allowing our teams to
minimize administrative work and dedicate even more resources to our
most important organizational goals."
