Kronos helps companies hire for Rhode Island healthcare jobs

Posted on September 10, 2011

Kronos is reportedly assisting a company in hiring for Rhode Island healthcare jobs.

Kronos Incorporated said Westerly Hospital Healthcare, a 125-bed acute care center in Rhode Island, is live on the HR and payroll solution from Kronos(R). Westerly has also selected Kronos for time and attendance, scheduling, absence management, and labor analytics.

Other companies could follow suit, including those that hire for healthcare jobs in Boston.
Westerly Hospital’s key reason for choosing Kronos was its desire to seamlessly automate its workforce management processes with a one-vendor workforce management solution.

— As a long-time customer, Westerly Hospital has been steadily expanding its use of Kronos to achieve complete automation of workforce management for its 700+ employees.

— The self-service functionality of the Kronos HR solution will enable Westerly Hospital’s employees — the majority of whom are hourly — to have access to and manage their critical employee data.

— Use of the HR and payroll solution allows HR staff to focus on more strategic projects, as time- consuming processes that were previously manual have been automated.

— The Kronos solution is easy to use and greatly enhances the reporting capabilities of both HR and payroll, providing quick access to high-quality information at any time.

— Kronos’ position-based solution is easily configurable to accommodate employees who work more than one job within the hospital.

Jodie Tate, chief HR officer, The Westerly Hospital “With Kronos, we are automating most of our processes, enabling us to more effectively manage our workforce. The HR component is critical, greatly reducing the administrative burden on our managers and empowering employees to have access to and control their own data. We had a strong and dedicated implementation team — we could not have asked for a better group of consultants to work with!”
