CHELMSFORD, Mass., April 4, 2016 – Following closely on the heels of The Boston Globe naming Kronos Incorporated a Top Place to Work in its ranking of Largest Massachusetts employers and Forbes listing the company as one of America’s Best Employers, the Boston Business Journal once again named Kronos one of the region’s Healthiest Employers.
News Facts
- The Boston Business Journal’s Healthiest Employers Award spotlights organizations with outstanding health and wellness programs and a commitment to employee well-being. Winning organizations were chosen following a rigorous assessment of 75 scored questions. Organizations were evaluated based on six categories: culture and leadership commitment; foundational components; strategic planning; communication and marketing; programming and interventions; and reporting and analysis.
- Kronos secured a spot in the Large Company category of the Healthiest Employers for the second consecutive year.
- Being recognized as a Healthiest Employer aligns with Kronos’ LiveInspired wellness mission that healthy, happy, and engaged employees deliver a superior experience to customers [see video].
- Kronos, led by CEO Aron Ain, employs nearly 4,800 worldwide and nearly 1,400 in Massachusetts, making it one of the state’s largest and most successful technology employers. The company expects to hire 1,000 employees worldwide in 2016, with many of its current 300-plus job openings based in Mass.
- Due to the company’s consistent and exceptional growth as a $1 billion global leader of workforce management solutions in the cloud, Kronos recently announced it would relocate its global headquarters to the Cross Point towers in Lowell, Mass., with plans to invest more than $40 million to design and build out a completely modernized facility across nearly 400,000 square feet of office space befitting of its award-winning WorkInspired culture.
- Kronos continues to be recognized as an employer of choice around the globe for its WorkInspired culture, including in Canada and India. Kronos also landed in the top two for the second consecutive year in The Boston Globe’s annual Top Places to Work list of the most admired Largest Employers in Massachusetts, where Kronos is headquartered.
