Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about HR ROI in the UAE
HR ROI in UAE is calculated as: [(Total Annual Savings − Annual Software Cost) ÷ Annual Software Cost] × 100. Total savings include HR admin time reduction (35% of HR team cost), recruitment cost reduction (20% per hire), WPS payroll error avoidance (0.5% of payroll), gratuity miscalculation cost avoided, and employee self-service productivity gains (2 hours per employee per month). UAE-specific inputs — WPS SIF automation and gratuity accuracy — typically add 30–40% to the ROI versus global calculators.
