WorkStrategy and Kronos® Announce 2004 Educational
Seminar Series
“Building a High Performance Organization”
Seminars to provide leading organizations with a guide
for leveraging HR technology to drive workforce loyalty,
learning, and productivity
COLUMBIA, MD and CHELMSFORD,
Mass., Feb. 4, 2004 — WorkStrategy, a leading
provider of innovative Human Resource (HR) technology management
services, and Kronos® Incorporated (Nasdaq: KRON), a single-source
provider of HR, payroll, scheduling, and time and labor solutions,
today announced a joint seminar series designed to help organizations
leverage HR technology to improve enterprise performance.
These half-day workshops, beginning next week in New York
and continuing through June in multiple cities, will outline
methods for utilizing HR technology to streamline business
processes and increase workforce productivity. Industry thought
leaders from WorkStrategy and Kronos will examine current
trends, define traits of a high performance organization,
and outline steps for achieving operational efficiencies.
“Over the past year, we’ve been
engaged by a number of organizations requiring assistance
with HR technology budgeting and sourcing alternatives,”
stated Brian McIntyre, founder and president of WorkStrategy.
McIntyre adds, “Our seminar series will provide an education
regarding best practices and trends, specifically around total
cost of ownership and process improvements. People, process,
and technology must all be weighed, connected and leveraged
in order to build a high performance organization. The challenge
is bringing the three in line with corporate objectives to
achieve a model of continuous efficiency.”
During these seminars, Kronos will provide attendees
with customer case studies on Bob’s Stores, JetBlue
Airways, and PepsiAmericas, Inc., which exemplify best practices
in building a high performance organization. These customer
case studies will focus on the benefits of automating employee-centric
transactions and processes, engaging employees with self-service
functionality, and optimizing the workforce. Seminar attendees
will leave the session with a project guide for selecting
appropriate solutions, implementing new systems, improving
business practices, and measuring tangible and intangible
results. They also will be aware of the areas within their
organization where they excel and where they need improvement.
“To build a high performance organization,
executives need to align the workforce with corporate objectives,”
said Bill Larkin, vice president of HRMS solutions for Kronos.
“The workforce is often the single biggest expense and
also the most difficult to control. Understanding this, Kronos
and WorkStrategy have developed these seminars with the goal
of helping today’s organizations effectively manage
their workforce. Based on our combined expertise, we are confident
that attendees will walk away from these seminars with the
tools they need to reach their organizational goals.”
