Every company knows that they need to focus on developing engaged and productive employees if they’re going to stay competitive and drive growth in an ever-changing environment. However, only 9 percent of organizations believe they have a good understanding of the talent factors that drive performance, according to a study by Deloitte.
One way for your company to enable access to better information and data on talent factors is by adopting people-first technologies like workforce management and human capital management (HCM).
One solution that combines both seamlessly is UKG Ready (formerly known as Kronos Workforce Ready), giving your company a full picture of its entire workforce. This article will take a deep dive into the solution and cover the key parts of the suite, not to mention the benefits of the tool.
Solution Overview
UKG Ready is a cloud-based platform that automates and integrates a company’s workforce from recruiting to retirement to termination (and everything in between). The unified solution and integrated toolset give organizations complete visibility so they can not only see what’s getting done but how it’s getting done. For an even more seamless experience, there’s also a UKG Ready mobile app ready to be accessed by any mobile device.
Here’s a list of some of the key products and their features:
- People Analytics: People Analytics allows you to gather tactical information about your workforce and strategic AI-supported predictions that drive proactive action.
- Talent Acquisition: With Talent Acquisition, you can simplify and automate job requisitions and candidate searching processes. You’ll also be able to track applicant status and deliver a better online hiring experience for candidates.
- Human Resources: This product helps your HR staff streamline tasks for hiring, managing, and retaining your workforce. It also simplifies other administrative or manually intensive tasks.
- Performance Management: A crucial piece of employee success, Performance Management helps you enhance the performance review process and support the development of salaried and hourly employees.
- Compensation Management: Compensation Management automates the compensation planning process to deliver better visibility and governance for employees and managers alike.
- Time Keeping System: This feature provides user-defined pay rules and simplified timecard management to improve payroll accuracy and reduce compliance risk.
Workforce Management Benefits
By unifying workforce management with HCM, your company gains a complete picture of the entire workforce. You’ll have information on what type of work your staff is doing, as well as when and how they’re doing it. Additionally, you’ll have payroll, performance, and productivity data to manage better business outcomes.
And your company isn’t the only one to benefit—there are perks for employees and managers as well. The advantages include better transparency into scheduling and self-service, such as submitting vacation requests, shift changes, and performance tracking.
