News Facts
-
Kronos was named a Fortune Best Workplace for Millennials for
the first time, which rewards organizations for unique and innovative
cultures that help attract and retain Millennials. The ranking
considered survey responses from more than 434,000 employees from
Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies, focusing on pride
in the company’s community impact, access to meaningful work, fair
pay, and plans for a future with their organization.
- Kronos has several innovative programs and benefits that are meaningful for younger employees, including being one of only four percent of companies that offer student loan repayment assistance; its open paid time off policy that is available to all Kronites regardless of tenure or title, as featured in Harvard Business Review; fully paid parental leave for new moms and dads, including parents of adopted children; childcare and adoption financial assistance; and its groundbreaking Manager Effectiveness Index people manager development program, as featured in the Wall Street Journal.
- Kronos has also built an exceptional pipeline of the next generation of cloud software leaders at its Indianapolis Technology Center of Excellence by hiring hundreds of graduates directly from leading Indiana colleges and universities since 2012. The Indianapolis team was recently honored by TechPoint for its innovative and engaging Interview Blitz process, which is a full-day networking, interviewing, and case study competition event to evaluate candidates’ collaboration, innovation, and communication skills.

Millennial Kronites quoted in the Great Place to Work Trust Index®
survey said:
- “All of the managers I have come in contact with truly are interested in what I am working on and care about me as a person. My direct manager always looks for development opportunities to give me as a young person in the workplace.”
- “As a professional with 15 years of experience, I can confidently say that Kronos is, by far, the most fulfilling company that I have ever worked for. In addition to great and unique benefits such as unlimited time off, student loan reimbursement, and extended maternity/paternity leave, Kronos has done a great job of building a population of Kronites who believe in the culture the company has built – one that is built on trust, transparency, and honest communication.”
