3 KRONOS WORKFORCE ANALYTICS More than Just Pretty Reporting You collect ever-increasing amounts of data workforce, financial, operational, and more from disparate systems across the organisation. But are you able to leverage the full potential of this data to control labour costs and improve workforce productivity? While traditional reporting may allow for simple trending, it doesn t provide the on-demand visibility into integrated workforce data needed to monitor performance, identify problems, and make the necessary adjustments for staying on track. Without up-to-the-minute insight into workforce utilisation, performance, and expenses, it s next to impossible to predict labour costs accurately and deploy your people most effectively. Workforce Analytics is a comprehensive business intelligence environment that extracts and integrates data from multiple sources, and organises it in a format that is easy to access, understand, and act upon within the context of a labour manager s specific business issues. Automated tools enable managers to check KPI status, detect issues, pinpoint root causes, and take steps to keep labour productivity and costs on target. Control Labour Costs. You can t make cost-effective labour decisions using incomplete, outdated, or fragmented data trapped in manual reports and spreadsheets.

The ability to drill down into supporting detail helps you understand the precise causes of excess costs. So you can make instant adjustments putting the right people in the right place at the right time to meet ever-changing business demands, improve performance, and return the best results.
