Overall Satisfaction with Kronos Workforce Ready

We use Kronos across the entire organization. It replaced a manual system that was labour intensive and time consuming for HR to manage. Kronos has automated our time sheet and vacation planning functions and enforces all rules uniformly across all departments. Most impressive was Kronos' implementation of our needs into the software. Their project management and attention to detail assured us throughout the implementation process that we were on the road to success.
  • Uniform collection of timesheet data.
  • Vacation requests and timesheet submission notifications are immediately sent to supervisors and managers for approval.
  • End users have the option of a mobile app or conventional workstation for accessing their Kronos information.
  • Simplify some of the interfaces.
  • Less effort to manage sick days and vacation time remaining.
  • Less input work at the payroll end.
  • Better measure of employee sick time.
We selected Kronos based on a second presentation we had them make. I saw a better fit with the software and insisted our implementation team give them a second chance to present. One of the nice surprises is that Kronos actually came in at a lower cost.
One area where Kronos makes life easier is in vacation planning. Managers can easily see their department and determine whether or not to grant a vacation request based on current information.

Evaluating Kronos Workforce Ready and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Vendor Reputation
We have very specific timesheet details for various departments. Kronos promised that they could be implemented, while other vendors were trying to change our processes from the start.

Kronos Workforce Ready Support

All requests have been dealt with. Regardless if the request is clear or not, a discussion between Kronos and our organization takes place and all aspects of the change are discussed before implementation. Kronos' experience often reveals issues we had not considered.
