Challenges

Client Challenges and Specific Requirements

The client, a major North American construction company, was awarded several key infrastructure projects linked to the Africa Cup of Nations. The challenge was twofold: mobilizing around 30 expatriate experts from different regions and simultaneously managing a local workforce of more than 300 Cameroonian employees.

 

The expatriate mobilization required coordination of international travel, work permits, and compliant employment contracts, while the local workforce required dedicated HR structures, payroll management, and adherence to national labor regulations. The complexity was heightened by the project’s scale, multiple sites operating under tight timelines and heavy public visibility.

 

The client sought a partner capable of handling both expatriate compliance and local workforce management seamlessly. IOTA Group was chosen to provide a complete Employer of Record solution that would ensure full compliance, transparency, and operational efficiency, allowing the client to focus entirely on delivering the project on time and to international standards.
