KPC set to implement e-attendance system

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 8: The CEO of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) Sheikh Nawaf Al-Saud Al-Sabah has directed all affiliated companies to emphasize the implementation of an electronic attendance and departure tracking system for their employees in Kuwait, and to coordinate the adoption of the implementation mechanism.

Sheikh Nawaf authorized the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO of KPC to take all necessary measures to enforce this decision for employees in KPC’s affiliated companies, following directives from the Council of Ministers.

The directive highlighted the importance of implementing resources and proposing mechanisms for the attendance and departure tracking system, ensuring that these solutions are approved for use within the company.

Informed sources explained that KPC is actively working to encourage national talent and simultaneously increase oversight over employee attendance and departure in all companies. This initiative aims to ensure fairness and equality within the workplace, amid concerns over fictitious job advertisements related to KPC and its affiliated companies.
