Editor's Notes
- Audio: At Kronos, we’re committed to being a best place to work. What does that mean to us? It means that we promote an inspired culture. We encourage employees’ talents, and work to keep them engaged in their personal and professional aspirations. Being a best place to work allows us to attract and keep the best people, and deliver outstanding results for our customers. As Kronites, we believe in taking care of our customers, our communities, our families, and each other. We know the workplace is changing and finding the right balance among these things is getting tougher every day. We also know that “balance” looks different for different people. Whether it’s volunteering in your local school, pursuing a graduate degree, training for a marathon, or seeing the world, we all have passions that keep us fulfilled. The best companies know that fulfilled employees are engaged employees, and engaged employees are creative, innovative, and committed to our collective success. And that’s good for business. Our commitment to balance is at the core of myTime, our open time off policy.
- Audio: myTime is a clear reflection of our culture and our philosophy around time off – which encompasses vacation, sick, and volunteer time – and also considers flexible working arrangements. In short, myTime promotes maximum flexibility while still meeting or exceeding business objectives. With myTime, we focus on: empowerment of employees to balance their life in the way that works for them, trust in our managers and our employees to work together to meet the needs of our customers, our teams, and ourselves, and myTime supports the notion that employees are accountable for their performance, and performance matters more than rules and policies.
- Audio: You may be thinking that myTime sounds great in theory, but have questions about its practical implications. How exactly does it work, and what is the role of managers and employees in managing time off? myTime relies on a strong manager-employee partnership, and encourages both parties to think creatively about how employees can maintain peak productivity, meet their goals, and balance their lives at the same time. As we said earlier, the philosophy around myTime places an emphasis on empowerment, trust, and personal accountability. In the absence of rigid guidelines, we expect that managers and employees will use good judgement around time off and flexible working arrangements. Another way to think about myTime is that we measure our employees’ success on what they accomplished and how they accomplish it – not by the number of days in the office, hours online, or amount of time off.
- Audio: An open time-off policy can be an adjustment for both managers and employees. It requires moving away from a traditional mindset about time off, placing our focus and emphasis on trust and using good judgement. Managers are asked to: Value results more than time spent achieving them Support employees in achieving the work life balance that works for them Trust employees will do what’s right for themselves, each other, and our customers Be comfortable with managing each request on a case by case basis Set a good example by taking time off to relax and recharge Similarly, employees are asked to: Be accountable for your performance Be empowered to ask for the time you need Plan ahead to ensure coverage when you are away (at least 2 weeks notice for time off extending more than a few days) Consider deliverables, commitments and impact on the team when planning time off Be open to explore alternatives if your initial request cannot be accommodated Understand that time off may vary between employees due to individual and team circumstances
- Audio: So let’s review some key questions that you may have around myTime. You may be wondering, is everyone eligible for the benefit? All current U.S. full-time and part-time US employees (exempt and non-exempt) and co-op employees are eligible. myTime includes a variety of different types of time including vacation, sick, floating holidays, bereavement and sick time and even includes time for caring for a sick dependent. It also provides time for Kronites to volunteer their time to something they are passionate about. There are leave situations that are not included in the benefit. These include maternity leave, parental leave, FMLA, disability leave or jury duty. Reference the employee handbook for more details on these leaves. There are no limits to the myTime benefit but it is paramount that the manager and employee plan and consider the business impact before agreeing to any requests. Be sure to record your time off using the “Request Time-off” widget in Workforce Central. Remember to report any unplanned sick time to your manager as soon as you can. You may still have some questions about the benefit. If you do, be sure to access the FAQ on myWorkInspired or contact your HR Business Partner.
