“Managing a family is a job all on its own.”
In case you missed it, yesterday Workforce Management vendor Kronos launched their new product, Workforce Home. This new product allows the user to manage their home similar to the way they would manage things at the office. Workforce Home provides the technology to manage your modern family through scheduling, allocation of resources, time-off requests, benchmarking (keeping up with the Jones’) and accruals (allowances!). Check out the full video here. It’s worth a couple minutes of your day.
If you are like me, you got really excited about this new gadget and started daydreaming about how smoothly your home would run with such an innovation. No more wondering about who is on diaper duty or when dinner would be ready!
Alas, I know the date and it’s just another April Fool’s joke! Although a bit disappointing that the product was only a joke, what a great way to stir up some buzz about Kronos while highlighting what their system can actually do for the workplace! Props to Kronos for the creativity and for adding a little bit of fun to this sometimes dry HR Tech world. I wonder how long it will be before a workforce management system for the home actually does appear on the market? Hmmm…
Did you see any other HR Tech pranks yesterday?
