The right tools for the job

By replacing legacy workforce management systems with UKG Dimensions, JCB can cut costs through: automating scheduling to align with fluctuating demand; eliminating time-consuming manual admin to enhance productivity, and boosting employee engagement with self-serve tools.

The Challenges for JCB

Reduce labour costs

Manual work arounds and reporting checks costs managers half an hour per day and degrades on-shift productivity

Solution:
AI-driven data

Automation lifts the admin burden, freeing up supervisors for more value-adding work and achieving typical annual savings of up to 4% of annual payroll cost

Employee engagement

Poor employee engagement encourages absenteeism and leads to high staff turnover

Solution:
Employee self-service

Mobile-first tools engage your staff and allow them to balance their work lives – reducing turnover, and related training and onboarding costs by up to 19%

Aligning labour with demand

Not coordinating schedules with forecasts leads to high levels of overtime and under/over-scheduled shifts

Solution:
UKG intelligent scheduling

Intelligent scheduling aligns labour to fluctuating demand, optimising resources and enabling employees to dynamically swap shifts

Having no standard time and attendance and shop floor data collection tool across the company made for minimal labour analysis.
