only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
I must be traveling down memory lane this week because so many things, in real life and online, are reminding me of those years I spent working in an office, answering phones and doing tech support. It was a good time, especially the first 4 or 5 years. We had a great team and we all worked together well, getting the job done and never minding when our job descriptions overlapped.
So, what changed and what went wrong? If I were to pinpoint the initial problem, I’d have to say that it was when one person decided that they wanted to spend less time in the office but still collect a full paycheck with benefits. That caused problems with the employee who had seniority, understandably. Much maneuvering ensued, and only in retrospect have I been able to see the manipulation and greed. I find it interesting that all of this occurred in a small business where no one ever thought that specialized Time And Attendance software was warranted. But you know what they say about hindsight.
I love the variety of software solutions at Kronos. The Workforce Timekeeper looks to be perfect for any size business. Whether your business is under 50 employees or has grown to several hundred or more, Kronos has solutions for time and employee management. The Kronos software solution also eliminates the massive amounts of paperwork that companies generate. I remember that paperwork was always a huge issue with the owners and tech guys wanting to eliminate it and the office manager insisting on a piece of paper to correspond with every digital record. Surely the Kronos system would have pleased everyone.
Not only does this look to be the right solution for the company I used to work for but the WebTA Mobile is perfect for my husband’s company. With the employees always in the field and never at a typical office, the Kronos WebTA Mobile solution would accommodate the crew when their on site. I’m passing this along to my husband so he and his partner can evaluate it.
I suppose that a piece of software wouldn’t have solved all the problems that plagued the company where I used to work; after all, they didn’t even last a full year after I left there. But Kronos does make software that might have helped them survive. And I know it’s exactly what my husband needs to make his jobs go smoother and his employees more productive. Quite a value for a piece of software, I’d say!

That is exactly the software the company I left in January used. Since I was salary I didn’t have to punch in and out, but I had to help people log into it when they forgot their password or the system was down.
Kronos is an okay piece of software, to be sure.
While I wish it worked faster over our network here at work, for the most part, it’s very robust, offers a lot of information to the employees, and saves me a trip to the HR department to ask, “Hey, uh, how many sick hours and vacation hours do I have, and how fast do they accrue?”
Definitely liking it.
