Facing Data Paralysis? This Might Save You

Unified Workforce Solution for a Global Hydrocarbon Engineering Firm

About Client

  • A global engineering company based in India, specializing in complex offshore and onshore hydrocarbon projects. 
  • Their offerings in engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and project management provide integrated ‘design-to-build’ solutions for complex surface and subsea hydrocarbon projects.
  • As a subsidiary of an 80-plus-year-old, $20-plus-billion conglomerate, the company benefits from its parent company’s expertise in sectors like hydrocarbons, infrastructure, construction, defense, IT, and power.

Problem STATEMENT

When sat for the first round of discussion, the client highlighted their struggles with data silos and HR team management. Key issues identified in the workflow were: 

Streamlining Workforce Data into a Unified Platform

The client’s workforce data was fragmented across multiple systems, making it difficult to consolidate and analyze trends. This lack of a unified platform hindered leadership and HR teams from gaining actionable insights into workforce distribution and demographic dynamics.

Enhancing Diversity and Inclusion Analytics

Tracking diversity metrics was the major challenge, which hindered their ability to assess representation gaps and launch targeted initiatives for fostering inclusivity.

Empowering HR with Predictive Analytics

Without predictive tools, the HR team struggled to proactively identify attrition risks and workforce trends, limiting their ability to implement effective employee engagement and retention strategies.

Fostering Organizational Transparency through Workforce Insights

The absence of a centralized view of workforce data led to a lack of transparency, affecting trust, collaboration, and informed workforce planning.

Tracking Demographic Shifts for Proactive Workforce Planning

The organization lacked the tools to monitor demographic changes in real-time, leading to reactive planning that delayed responses to workforce challenges.
