Impacting the bottom line through effective time and attendance management
One of the primary challenges for the mining industry is managing a complex human capital environment. For over 26 years, Pal Solutions’ systems, such as time and attendance hardware and software solutions have reduced time theft, leave theft, and Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) risks associated with HCM. Effective workforce management leads to increased productivity and significant cost savings. Time theft is a major expense for many organisations globally, but with advanced biometric and smart time management solutions, it can be eliminated.
Time and attendance management also positively impact legal compliance in complex environments, ensuring that every employee is in the right place, at the right time, and is qualified and authorised to be there. Managing certificates and licenses with a reliable HCM partner ensures regulatory compliance.
