News Facts
-
In today's competitive retail and hospitality environments, success
depends on the quality of service consumers receive from a
knowledgeable and engaged workforce. Small to midsize organizations
often rely on manual processes to manage critical workforce management
processes, which can negatively impact the bottom line. Increasingly,
small to midsize retail and hospitality organizations are turning to
Workforce Ready to remain competitive and fuel growth by automating
these processes through single-source access in the cloud providing
real-time data from a variety of integrated applications.
-
Among small to midsize retail and hospitality organizations that have
selected Workforce Ready are: Dora Hotel Company, an
award-winning hotel management organization covering brands such as
Best Western, Comfort Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn, and
Residence Inn; Hays Supermarkets, a family-owned and operated
company running since 1906; Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, a
leading four season ski resort in California; New York Health &
Racquet Club, a family-owned and managed health club with nine

Workforce Ready offers a comprehensive suite of workforce management
applications including:

calculates payroll data and updates in real time, so payroll
information is ready at the click of a button requiring no

attendance, and payroll and provides proactive management of ACA
compliance across the entire workforce.

employer-specific leave policies and requirements for a variety of
qualified leave types.

Darlene Lambert, payroll supervisor, Dora Hotel Company
"The
Kronos Workforce Ready solution has improved the way we work by
allowing us to avoid mistakes, monitor overtime, and make staffing
adjustments. The simplicity and flexibility of ad hoc reporting allows
our managers and operational users real-time access to vital
information necessary in many aspects of our business. Kronos also
helps us ensure that we are in compliance with regulations such as the
Affordable Care Act."
-
Stacey Crockett, ERP systems and database administrator, Mammoth
Mountain Ski Area LLC
"Workforce Ready provides our
managers with the tools they need to run their individual departments
efficiently as well as real-time access to the data that impacts their
bottom line. In addition, our employees are more satisfied because
they can view their pertinent information whenever and wherever they
want. Automation and enforcement of federal, state, and
employer-specific leave requirement tracking also reduces the time we
spend on administering these complex and changing policies and our
risk of noncompliance."
-
Brian Frydenlund, principal, Team People LLC
"We
immediately saw the additional value Workforce Ready helps us provide
our staffing and recruiting clients - namely the information and data
provided by the integrated cloud solution where key time and
attendance, HR, payroll, and project tracking data is automatically
shared between systems. This has allowed us to produce custom reports
that provide insightful information for our clients to more
effectively manage their business."

Liz Moughan, director, retail and hospitality practice group, Kronos
"Workforce
Ready makes it easier than ever for small and midsize retail and
