The Massachusetts-based provider of software and services for workplace management has 5,000 employees globally, including almost 1,500 at its headquarters. Because some countries have legal requirements for vacation time, Kronos’s unlimited-vacation policy applies only in the United States and Canada. Kronos launched the policy because it was struggling to fill positions at its headquarters. The company hires mostly technology experts, and the job market for college graduates is very tight in Massachusetts. At one point, 300 positions were unfilled. When recruiters asked candidates what was holding them back from accepting an offer, one issue that repeatedly surfaced was vacation. Most companies, including Kronos, gave new workers about two weeks’ vacation, adding to the days as the workers stayed on. Experienced job candidates balked at the offer to start at Kronos with two weeks’ vacation when they had earned their way to three or four weeks at their current job. Kronos’s CEO, Aron Ain, and Chief People Officer Dave Almeda considered the situation. They took into account that the jobs at Kronos attract the kind of people who take responsibility for their work and may be finishing tasks at home or on the road, even during days they have designated as time off. If they were working when they were not clocked in, the executives concluded, they could certainly be trusted to get the job done. Some managers and employees resisted the new policy. A few managers were worried those employees would abuse the policy and that the process of approving time off would be difficult. For these managers, Kronos provided support, training, and nudges to align with the corporate culture. Those who had worked for a long time with the company complained because they had been using their vacation time as a kind of savings plan. Kronos’s reminded them that this was not the purpose of a vacation policy. Furthermore, to address concerns of fairness, it took the savings for not having these future payments and used the funds to pay for additional employee benefits, including greater contributions to retirement plans. Predictions that employees would abuse the policy did not come true. Kronos continued to keep track of employees’ use of time off. The average number of days taken rose slightly, from 14 days to 16.6, well within the range the policy had in mind. Employee engagement scores rose slightly, and employee turnover dropped significantly.Source: Adapted from Noe, R., Hollenbeck, J., Gerhart, B. and Wright, P., 2020. Fundamentals of human resource management, 8th edition, McGraw-Hill, p.462.Required:(a)“Those who had worked for a long time with the company complained because they had been using their vacation time as a kind of savings plan.”Based on statement above, solve this problem which faced by Kronos. (25 marks)(b)“Employee engagement scores rose slightly, and employee turnover dropped significantly.” Based on the statement above, we know that employee engagement is important to Kronos. Provide some ways to enhance Kronos’ employee engagement level.

The most common lies involved exaggerating skills and responsibilities, and some were startling—for example, attendance at a non-existent college or employment in three cities during the same time period.Why would job seekers take a chance that they would not be caught? One reason might be that they see or imagined that employers would not take the information seriously. Survey results indicated that more than two-thirds of those reviewing a résumé devoted less than five minutes to the task and many of them spent less than two minutes. Employers are also not giving out accurate information themselves if they paint overly rosy pictures during interviews and on their websites or fail to keep job descriptions up-to-date. Candidates may conclude that the selection process is a manipulation, not honesty.Besides doing their part to make the selection process honest and clear, employers can protect themselves against misrepresentations by job seekers. These efforts generally involve some kind of background check. Methods include contacting current and former employers to verify employment; this is where most discrepancies with résumés are caught. Other checks may look at a candidate’s credit history, criminal records, and history of residences, as long as these methods are legal and relevant.Companies might rely on interviews to detect lies. This requires a high level of skills; the average person barely does better than guessing at random when it comes to detecting a lie. For example, many people assume that lack of eye contact is a sign of lying, but the evidence does not support that assumption. A more effective approach is to ask neutral questions and listen carefully for details and inconsistencies. Ideally, the candidate offers details that can be verified later through objective methods.Source: Adapted from Noe, R., Hollenbeck, J., Gerhart, B. and Wright, P., 2020.
