CS Frontline has introduced Kronos`s Workforce Central suite, a family of integrated frontline labour management solutions that provides management with immediate access to information on all labour components within the enterprise. The product has been engineered to help companies measure and improve labour productivity through a single, integrated solution.
Workforce Central was designed for all organisations with a desire to capture, measure and optimise time and labour in the workplace. It can capture employee hours and activities, manage benefit time, produce employee schedules and analyse labour productivity, while supporting tens of thousands of employees on a single database.
"Frontline labour management applications are designed to put realtime labour information into the hands of decision-makers and managers who most need it," says Steve Bonadio, senior analyst with the Hurwitz Group. "The objective of these applications is to help businesses optimise the deployment of their labour resources, meet their labour budgeting objectives, and ultimately, satisfy their customers."
As part of the announcement, Kronos has released Workforce Accruals, a leave management system that calculates and maintains balances of each employee`s vacation, personal, sick and other benefit time. It gives supervisors, human resource administrators, payroll professionals and employees instant access to up-to-date benefit time information.
The company has also released Workforce Timekeeper 3.0, the newest version of Kronos`s time and attendance system. It automates the process of managing employee time and attendance, achieves accurate payroll preparation and provides tools for the more efficient management of labour resources. As part of the rollout of Workforce Central, Kronos is preparing to deliver several new user-interaction options in the future which will provide employees convenient access to Kronos applications. With interfaces to the Web and to desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Kronos anticipates more rapid adoption of its technology within non-traditional segments such as those with a predominance of professional or non-hourly workers.
The JSE-listed CS Holdings group of companies owns Kronos`s interests in South Africa through its CS Frontline subsidiary.
