Learning is a lifelong journey. No matter what industry you work in, there is always more information to process and implement. In the field of Workforce Management, we are introduced to new information, strategies, challenges, and concepts almost every day. Keeping up with this evolving field can prove to be challenging. The best way to stay up to date with Workforce Management trends is to have a list of resources that provide the latest WFM news, information, and strategies. Here are the top five resources that every Kronos user should know:
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Seuss
