Development of an Employee Performance and Engagement Dashboard for Construction Teams

A construction company with mobile crews working across various sites needs an efficient way to track employee work performance, improve motivation, and reduce work-related injuries. The company requires a solution accessible to non-English speakers and employees without frequent computer access, to enhance team productivity and safety while fostering a culture of friendly competition.

The implementation of the employee performance dashboard is anticipated to improve team efficiency, foster positive competition, and enhance safety and morale, leading to faster project completions—potentially five weeks ahead of schedule—and increased overall team morale. The solution will provide real-time analytics, motivating employees to improve performance while reducing injuries and administrative workload, thereby delivering sustained operational benefits.
