CHELMSFORD, Mass., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Leisure Sports, a fast-growing active lifestyle business that owns and manages high-end fitness resorts and hotels, has upgraded to the latest version of the Workforce Central® suite from Kronos® Incorporated. The new version includes significant ease-of-use enhancements and will further help Leisure Sports eliminate unnecessary overtime, achieve accuracy in payroll, and predict correct traffic patterns.
News Facts
The Kronos suite includes integrated time and attendance, optimized scheduling, and workforce analytics solutions and completely automates critical workforce business processes.
The optimized scheduling solution enables the organization to create schedules based on accurate forecasts and eliminate guesswork regarding how many people are needed to serve members, when they are needed, and where. This eliminates redundant expenses due to overstaffing and also minimizes inconsistent productivity levels due to understaffing. Both are enabling Leisure Sports to improve its bottom-line results.
Leisure Sports also achieves member service and sales benefits from the Kronos analytics solution. The organization is using this solution to identify performance trends, traffic patterns, and reasons behind ineffective schedules. A dashboard view that consolidates data across the organization further simplifies the process of accurately predicting labor requirements.
Through real-time labor information, Kronos also helps Leisure Sports identify situations when overtime is likely and enables the organization to take preemptive actions to reduce overtime.
Additionally, Kronos helps Leisure Sports effectively staff various departments that rely heavily on traffic volume such as childcare, food and beverage, and housekeeping. These classes and departments require specific employee skill sets and Kronos helps ensure that the right number of trained associates is available to serve members.
