Oceanic Marine Services, an established company providing shipyard maintenance crews, was facing a hidden but costly problem: high worker turnover and absenteeism.
While Oceanic provided steady work, their third-party dormitory provider offered sub-par living conditions. This led to:
High Turnover: Skilled workers would leave for competitors offering better accommodation after their contracts ended, leading to constant re-training costs.
Low Morale & Productivity: Poor living conditions, overcrowding, and lack of recreational space resulted in a tired and unmotivated workforce.
Increased Absenteeism: Workers frequently reported sick, and disputes were common, disrupting project schedules.
Reputational Risk: They were concerned that their reputation as an employer was suffering.
Oceanic outsourced their entire worker accommodation and welfare management to Clarity E&C.
Transition to Managed Dormitories: We seamlessly transitioned their entire 150-man workforce to one of our high-quality managed dormitories.
Focus on Well-being: The new facility provided cleaner rooms, better food options, and dedicated recreational areas, including a gym and a cricket pitch.
Dedicated Support: We assigned a dedicated Dormitory Liaison Officer who acted as a single point of contact for the workers, helping to resolve issues quickly and fairly.
Community Engagement: We organized regular social events and sports leagues, fostering a strong sense of community and camaraderie among the workers.
40% Reduction in Worker Turnover: Within the first year, Oceanic's worker retention rate improved dramatically.
15% Decrease in Absenteeism: A healthier and happier living environment directly led to fewer sick days and a more reliable workforce.
Improved On-site Safety: Well-rested workers are more alert. Oceanic reported a significant improvement in their on-site safety record.
Enhanced Employer Brand: They are now known as a company that genuinely cares for its workers, making it easier to attract top talent.
Client Testimonial:
"We used to think of a dorm as just a bed. Clarity E&C showed us it's the foundation of a productive workforce. By taking over our workers' welfare, they solved our turnover problem and gave us a more motivated, loyal, and safer team."
