Supporting Quotes
-
Aron Ain, chief executive officer, Kronos
“It brings me great joy to work alongside Kronites who care for each other, their families, and our customers. Employees join organizations because of what they hear about the company, but they often leave because of who they work for. The often-understated impact managers have on employee engagement and satisfaction is a major reason I decided to write ‘WorkInspired.’ When managers lead with courage, humility, and transparency while always – always – trusting team members, retention rises, team performance improves, and overall results become magical. This honor is a reflection of the many great people who work at Kronos around the world.”

Christian Sutherland-Wong, president and chief operating officer,

Glassdoor’s Top CEOs award continues to be more competitive every year, and I congratulate each leader on their achievement. Today’s job seekers are looking for leaders who share their values and will empower them to bring their full selves to work. More and more, we’re seeing Top CEOs make decisions to shape the culture of their organizations to help recruit and retain quality talent, which has a direct correlation to fueling business success.”
