MEGA SESSION Work Inspired: How to Build an Organization Where Everyone Loves to Work

2019 Annual Conference & Exposition
Learn lessons from Kronos on how to evaluate your company culture to determine whether and how your treat employees as your organizations’ greatest asset.

Anything is possible when people are inspired, and there is a direct connection between an inspired culture and business success. Culture unites not just recruitment, retention and employee engagement, but also customer satisfaction, innovation and overall performance – and Kronos Incorporated has proof. Since Aron Ain took over as CEO in 2005, Kronos – led by HR’s strategic guidance – transformed its culture by investing in employee development and engagement as growth strategies while focusing on managers as the linchpin to company-wide success. It’s no coincidence that, as Kronos engagement skyrocketed, company revenue tripled to $1.4 billion and Kronos has been awarded many coveted “best place to work” distinctions along the way. This session, led by Kronos HR Evangelist Chris Mullen, will teach leaders who manage teams of five or 500,000 how to create an inspired culture in their own organizations by following surprisingly simple rules to replicate Kronos’ success.

Learning Objectives:

  • Build of culture of trust.
  • Develop humble yet inspiring “un-leaders.”
  • Over-communicate with truth-telling.
  • Hold managers accountable for being great leaders.
  • Give employees their time back.
  • Empower the next-generation workforce.
