CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kronos Incorporated today announced that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Aron Ain has been named to Glassdoor’s Highest Rated CEOs list for large U.S. organizations for the second consecutive year. For this coveted Glassdoor Employees’ Choice award, Ain was rated one of the top 20 CEOs in information technology (IT) across the U.S. based entirely on online employee reviews.

Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing job sites, released its annual report honoring the Highest Rated CEOs, which highlights top leaders employees love working for in countries throughout North America and parts of Europe.

News Facts

• Among CEOs recognized in the U.S. at large companies, Aron Ain had an impressive 96 percent approval rating at the time of the 2017 list debut, which was based on anonymous and voluntary employee reviews submitted on Glassdoor in the last 12 months out of its database of 32 million.
  • Of the 700,000 companies reviewed on Glassdoor, the average CEO approval rating is 67 percent.
• Ain has been CEO at Kronos since 2005 and, over that time, Kronos has grown from $518.7 million in annual revenue to what is today a $1.261 billion company; has expanded its worldwide employee base from 2,900 to 5,200 Kronites; and employee engagement scores have risen dramatically to 87 percent today, which includes a three percent boost from 2016 to 2017 alone.
