UAE Construction Giant Saves 60,000 Dirhams Monthly by Streamlining Attendance Management

The Challenge: Managing a Growing Workforce in a Chaotic Environment

Managing worker attendance management at its many construction sites was a big difficulty for Nael General Contracting (NGC), a well-known construction company in the United Arab Emirates with over 9,000 employees. The HR and finance departments had to deal with inconsistent and irregular attendance records for a long time.

• Inaccurate Attendance: Traditional methods like punch cards were prone to buddy punching and data manipulation, creating disputes over wages and unfairness among workers.
• Inefficient Reporting: Sorting and compiling attendance data for nearly 1,000 workers on a single site, let alone 55+ locations, was a time-consuming task for HR, delaying salary processing and creating frustration.
• Unhappy Workforce: Uncertainties about attendance records and delayed payments resulted in a dissatisfied workforce, potentially impacting morale and productivity.
