News Facts
- A Kronos customer for 15 years, Mankato Clinic recently attained a substantial milestone by combining its workforce management and human capital management (HCM) systems and migrating its entire clinical staff – including physicians, nurses, and advanced practice providers – across a dozen regional sites to Workforce Dimensions.
- Workforce Dimensions drove such immediate and significant time and cost savings that the modern, extensible solution paid for itself in the first 12 months while simultaneously optimizing productivity and empowering Mankato Clinic healthcare providers, nurses, and managers to provide optimal patient care.
- Powered by the Kronos D5 platform, Workforce Dimensions provides insight into critical, real-time labor data such as employee attendance and hours worked. Embedded analytics allow managers to drill down by job type and location to view scheduled hours and employees approaching overtime, enabling them to flex staff for upcoming shifts while ensuring the right people with the right skills are assigned to the right patients.
- Next-generation capabilities driven by the artificial intelligence-powered suite unburden managers and supervisors from repetitive administrative tasks by automating previously manual scheduling, human resources, and payroll processes, allowing them to spend more time on higher-value activities such as developing staff and caring for patients.
- Mobile-first capabilities of Workforce Dimensions empower employees to complete important tasks such as benefits enrollment and time-off requests from a smartphone, eliminating unnecessary paperwork. Additionally, employees have easy access to critical information such as timecards, pay stubs, and accrual balances from anywhere at any time.
- In order to ensure the right people with the right skills are accurately scheduled and that practitioner licensures and certifications up to date, managers can monitor employee credentials and send reminders – weeks or months in advance – if licenses are set to expire.
- With a long history of personalized support from Kronos customer success and strategic advisory teams, Mankato Clinic recently shifted to the cloud after years of operating an on-premise solution, positioning the organization to achieve the greatest value from its Kronos investment as it focuses on future of work initiatives.
