Doctors Hospital at Renaissance Controls Labor Costs, Improves Productivity with Kronos®
CHELMSFORD, Mass., Aug. 16, 2010 — Kronos® Incorporated today announced that Doctors Hospital at Renaissance, a 500-bed hospital in Texas with more than 3,500 employees, is live on Kronos for time and attendance, HR, and payroll. The hospital is also in the process of implementing the scheduling solution from Kronos.
News Facts
- Doctors Hospital at Renaissance selected Kronos because it is a reputable vendor that offers a comprehensive and totally integrated workforce management solution. Doctors Hospital at Renaissance previously relied on disparate systems and manual processes to manage its workforce. Now it has a central repository of all employee information and visibility into every aspect of its workforce.
- The hospital previously used a service bureau for payroll processing. It chose to bring payroll in-house to gain control over the process. The organization found that the reporting capabilities offered by the service bureau did not meet its needs and also that having a "middle man" in the payroll process made it cumbersome and time-consuming.
- In its last fiscal quarter, Doctors Hospital at Renaissance experienced a significant decrease in overtime, largely a result of improved monitoring and planning for staffing changes.
- Using Kronos' HR solution, Doctors Hospital at Renaissance is able to input data from online applications directly into its system, eliminating error-prone and duplicative manual data entry and paperwork.
- Doctors Hospital at Renaissance uses the self-service capabilities in Kronos' HR solution to enable employees to update their own information and have 24-7 access to their personal and benefits information. Self-service significantly reduces inquiries into the HR department, freeing up staff to focus on more strategic issues while also improving employee productivity and satisfaction.
