a workforce
management solution provider, announced that it is doubling its
workforce in India to increase its product development, as well as
its operation in the country. “This economy is going
to double in the next 10 years. More and more companies are coming to
India. Young workforce of India is going to be key contributor to
this economy. At the same time managing workforce is becoming
complex. We see huge opportunity in easing this complexity. This is
why we have inaugurated our new new product development centre in
India and will double our workforce in India in next two years time,”
said Aron J Ain, CEO, Kronos Incorporated.

At present, Kronos has a
total of 200 employees in India. Out of this, the company has 150
engineers devoted to development of Kronos workforce solution in the
country and 50 employees deal in field operations of the company.
Kronos has been present in
India since the last three years and claims to have registered 300
percent in last financial year over the previous year. “In three years,
we have
acquired 40 clients. We started from scratch three years back and
have grown to this level. There is huge demand for workforce
management solution. We acquired some key clients namely Delhi
International Airport, Medanta Medicity, Viraj and Bombardier.
Recently, we were fortunate to have acquired business from Aircel,
Cummins, Jubilant, Schenieder Electric Sterlite Industries and many
other prestigious brands in the country. We are seeing wide
acceptance of our product. To meet clients expectation and demand, we
are increasing our focus in Indian market,” said James Thomas,
Country Manager, Kronos Systems India.

Present at the occasion,
Arun Datta, VP-Human Resource, Medanta Medicity mentioned that for
organization like Medanta, it is very crucial to manage workforce and
a person can be substituted with a person of the same skill-set when
it comes to day-to-day working of Hospital. “We cannot depute a
gynecologist for work of a cardiologist. Using Kronos solution, we
have been able to put mechanism in place so that we can timely and
efficiently manage workforce. This had been one of the key benefit we
have gained from its solution,” said Datta. Birendra Prasad, GM-Human
Resource, DIAL, added that for organization such as DIAL scheduling
workforce is very important. “We deal with a number of people at
various points. Our goal is to be among top five airports of the
world. It will be hard for us to afford if someone finds any kind of
gap in our services. Therefore lots of things go behind managing
workforce. Kronos solution has helped us in managing workforce at
airport and they have customized solution as per our need,” said
Prasad.
