The WFC Group Blog

Hard to believe it's already been two weeks since we joined more than 3000 fellow workforce management professionals in Las Vegas for the yearly KronosWorks gathering. Talk about a great turnout!

Another KronosWorks has drawn to a close, and in its wake we have a bunch of new reasons to be excited for the year ahead. Rather appropriate given this year's themes: inspiration and the future of work.

The WFC Group is always looking for ways to give the best support possible to our clients. Early support in any consultation is just as important as the support we give after the work is done.

You can always tell KronosWorks is close from the extra cheerful demeanor on our conference calls as we prepare for one of our favorite events of the year. In just a week, we'll be trading insights with the best in the biz in the heart of Vegas. For us, it really is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded minds and business leaders eager to push the potential of their workforce solutions.

"New collar" is a phrase coined for jobs created by the evolving needs of today's businesses. These roles tend to require greater technical proficiency, but because of their recent development, the skills needed to fill them are often not readily available in the present workforce. Many companies are re-examining their traditional talent streams.

KronosWorks 2018 is just around the corner, and we could not be more excited. It's one of the biggest events of the year.

It feels like only yesterday when we last gathered in Las Vegas for the big reveal of Kronos Workforce Dimensions. Yet so much has happened since then, and we're ready to reconnect and exchange new stories with the top minds in human capital management. Whether you are client-side or provider-side, we can't wait to discuss how using Kronos Workforce solutions can help your business achieve its greatest strength.

When a company’s workforce management solution becomes a source of frustration, it's bound to have an increasingly poor effect on its overall work environment. In this situation, it's important for that business’s leaders to respond quickly and develop a plan of action to avoid hindrance to productivity and an irrecoverable dip in morale.

For businesses, times of change can fill with uncertainty, but they can also breathe life into an organization when handled correctly. When experiencing change, especially when change is driven from within, there are ways to create a positive experience through change management. We should know - our entire business is built on enacting meaningful change for companies.

Let's get the not-so-good news out of the way first. Retail, you've got something to worry about when it comes to your employer perception.

Let's be realistic. The path to happier, more productive employees is never as simple as connecting point A to point B. It's easy to get ensnared by the belief "engagement" is driven by employee perks, but building true engagement requires much more.
