News Facts
- Since establishing itself as an independent organization in 2017, Inframark has undergone a significant business transformation, most recently replacing duplicative human resources (HR) and payroll solutions with Workforce Ready to streamline operations through an integrated system to serve the needs of its entire workforce, including its high concentration of remote employees.
- Talent acquisition from Kronos helps attract top talent while eliminating unnecessary paperwork with a fully responsive applicant portal that makes it easy for job seekers to apply from any device in just minutes – accelerating time-to-hire.
- Once hired, Workforce Ready onboarding removes traditional paper processes and streamlines steps for candidates and hiring managers so they can focus on the human aspect of hiring, including integrating the new employee into the team and culture.
