Purpose
At Kronos, we believe that great businesses are powered by great people. To be a great business, you need to create and manage an engaged workforce — so we make workforce software solutions that are purpose-built for our customers’ industries and all of their employees, regardless of their industry or where they do business. And, of course, we practice what we preach by being dedicated to being a great place to work, resulting in record-high employee engagement scores that far surpass industry standards for global software companies.
Vision
All organizations face the challenge of balancing the needs of individual employees — development, fulfillment, and purpose — with the overall needs of the business — revenue, profit, or service. With innovative workforce solutions, Kronos helps all types of organizations strike that balance of individual and organizational needs to develop fully engaged, productive employees. An engaged workforce strengthens customer satisfaction, delivers quality products, increases revenue, and better serves citizens.
Mission
Kronos believes that great businesses are powered by great people, and we are uniquely qualified to empower both employees and employers in working toward that one unified goal. We do it by focusing on three core principles: cultivating continual innovation, building and sustaining our own engaged workforce, and fostering a customer-first approach in all that we do.
Additional Culture Details
The WorkInspired corporate culture at Kronos truly transcends the everyday work experience. We strive to create an environment that's conducive to the spirit of inspiration and innovation we hold so dear. And we want all employees to be inspired to be their best — whether at work or at home.
Work at Kronos is full of opportunity — and new challenges can be found behind every door. Not just to advance careers of Kronites who do the work, but to also share ideas and explore innovative ways to make those ideas come to life. No matter what position, Kronites are empowered to make a difference. From a comfortable office space to friendly coworkers who encourage each other to reach for their goals — and beyond — work at Kronos is infused with the positive energy that keeps teams motivated, energized, inspired, and engaged.
Kronos also established a revolutionary new way to develop managers and hold them accountable for being exceptional leaders, because we believe that everyone deserves a great manager. We call it the Manager Effectiveness Index (MEI): Twice a year, as part of our global employee engagement survey, employees are asked to rate their direct manager in 18 questions across four key categories that we believe make for a great manager: communication; support; empower; and development. Managers then receive an anonymous report showing where their team rated them in the various categories, as well as where they fall compared to the rest of the people managers in the organization. From there, managers work with their HR business partners to communicate the scores to their team and take action to improve as leaders. In the year after Kronos implemented MEI, global engagement scores raised three points after a three-year plateau to an all-time high of 87 percent!
