UAB HEALTH SYSTEM SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVES EFFICIENCIES IN PAYROLL THROUGH ENHANCED TIME & ATTENDANCE STRATEGIES

ISH, Inc. leads prestigious healthcare organization through implementation and process change

FAIRFIELD, NJ: ISH, Inc. announced today the successful completion of a complex Human Capital Management improvement initiative at University of Alabama Health System. ISH was selected based on University of Alabama Health System’s need of improved efficiencies in operational processes and the complexity of a multitude of diverse pay practices across the enterprise. According to Scott Jennings, UABHS Kronos™ Project Manager, “ISH brought the required skills and knowledge to both implement the Kronos™ suite of applications and also to work with the UABHS to define and execute a standard set of competitive pay practices across the Health System.”

Faced with the challenges of upgrading their Time and Attendance applications, optimizing their payroll processes, and integrating newly acquired facilities with disparate systems, UABHS turned to ISH, a leader in Human Capital Management strategies in Healthcare.

The project, completed over a 10 month period, included implementing Kronos™ Workforce Central, the consolidation of three diverse time and attendance systems into one, and the replacement of outdated, manual time capture processes with cost-effective best practice automated solutions.

ISH is a Certified Kronos™ Consulting partner and an industry leader in healthcare Human Capital Management Strategies. We have implemented Kronos™ solutions in many organizations looking to improve their operational processes and gain control over pay practices.

Please stop by the ISH Booth (#11) at the KronosWorks™ conference, November 4-7 at the Venetian Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada to learn more about Human Capital Management Strategies powered by Kronos™ applications.
