Sainsbury's, a UK retailer, has chosen a workforce management solution, provided by Kronos, to control labor costs and improve productivity. The Kronos solution will manage the time, attendance, and scheduling of over 150,000 employees across the UK's 1,000-plus locations.

 

"Kronos software will help us manage and allocate our labor in store and pay our colleagues more effectively, while allowing us to benefit from simplifying our current processes," says Rob Fraser, IT director for Sainsbury's. "Improved information will make it easier to provide out customers with fantastic service."

 

Prior to choosing the Kronos solution, Sainsbury's has managed time, attendance, and scheduling using manual and partially automated processes. With this, as part of Sainbury's commitment to being a "Great Place to Work," it needed to support employees by offering a consistent, fair, and equitable approach to working practices through a workforce management solution.
