Top Notes & Quotes from KronosWorks 2018

This year more than 2,500 Kronos® technology experts, customers, and partners gathered at the Aria Las Vegas to access the inside track on how technology and humanity are merging to transform both the workforce (WFM) and human capital management (HCM) arenas.

The two day, all-things-Kronos tour de force included expert sessions, networking, hands-on training workshops, courses, and was topped off with a private, Kronos concert featuring pop star Kelly Clarkson.

Recapping the power of Workforce Dimensions — now up to an official 220 adopters — Kronos introduced several Dimensions' product features that focused on combining both HCM and WFM data on the D5 cloud platform.

Bill Bartow, Kronos Vice President, Global Product Management introduced the Artificial Intelligence engine AIMEE, an acronym for Artificial Intelligence for Managers and Employees. AIMEE will serve as a trusted manager advisor to the WFM and HCM professional making it easier to analyze employee data and build engagement from “hire to retire.”

In addition, Kronos leadership focused on Dimensions R3, an AI feature that would help automate and predict employee shift swaps. And, Workforce Auditor featured in Workforce Analytics an advanced AI algorithm that would help identify risky behavior in large organizations that could lead to compliance issues.

A 2017 Pew research study found that 72% of Americans worry about a future where robots or machines will replace their jobs. ~ Katie Linendoll, TV host and journalist

At the end of the day a robot will never have a human heart or a pet's heart for that matter. Because as smart as our machines become they will never have the unique human qualities like insight, intuition and empathy and although they can process data at lightening speeds they can’t replace the relationships that connect and bring meaning into our lives. ~ Katie Linendoll, TV host and journalist3

We all want to work in a way that suits our needs and we all want to have a say in how we work, where we work, and how we access our workforce data. And when it comes to technology, the people who are prepared for the future of technology are going to be prepared for the future of work. ~ Aron Ain, Chief Executive Officer, Kronos

Anything is possibleanything is possible — when you inspire people and when people are inspired.

Customers start with simple workflows . . . they start chaining together multi-step workflows that take the 'suck out of work' and it empowers employees and unburdens managers. ~ Anand Dass, Global Head of Platform Partnerships, Facebook
