Kronos CEO Aron Ain is so passionate about creating an inspired workplace that he literally wrote a book on it, and he also has worked to influence the culture at Kronos Incorporated for the past 40 years. Kronos provides workforce management and human capital management solutions, and Ain aims to provide his employees with inspiration and top work culture. Ladders spoke with Ain on the special culture at Kronos and how to attract top talent to an organization.

Aron Ain’s first job in the late 1970s at Kronos, the workforce management company based in Lowell, Massachusetts, was to walk the streets of Boston, asking companies if he could install a new kind of time clock in their businesses.

With a mission to become a destination employer, Woodbine Entertainment has migrated from Kronos Workforce Central to Workforce Dimensions, the cloud-native, mobile-first, artificial intelligence-powered workforce management suite from Kronos Incorporated. The next-generation solution will help Woodbine modernize its information technology (IT) infrastructure, enhance its employee experience, and help attract and retain top talent.

The newly launched time clock integrates with Workforce Dimensions, Kronos' workforce management suite, providing real-time updates to managers and employees.

The deployment, which is still ongoing, is expected to yield monetary and time savings, and is something of a shift from an on-premise-first emphasis.

Kronos CEO Aron Ain shares the 5 things that he believes managers and executives should be doing to improve their company work culture.

Kronos has certainly proven it knows how to engage its own workforce, earning “best place to work” awards in every market in which it operates as well as a spot on Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators list.
