GUYANA-BORN entrepreneur Carlton Bharrat is looking to collaborate with government to strategically boost the efficiency of government agencies through the use of his management software.

According to Bharrat, his company — Human Resource Time Management (HRTM) Consulting– is based in the United States and offers expert consulting services for human resources, payroll and workforce management, implementation, and support through the creation of custom software for businesses.

HRTM Consulting is looking to introduce Human Resource (HR), Pay Roll (PR), and Workforce Management (WFM) software solutions in Guyana.

The company intends to have the staff in Guyana create and support custom software for businesses in the US and Canada.

HRTM Consulting plans to give high priority to giving back to Guyana, not only on the economic front, but also socially.

It is a services partner with UKG and has implemented and supported over 300 clients in government, healthcare, and education in the US, Canada, and Jamaica.

HRTM would like to introduce Guyana to world-class HR, PR, and WFM software solutions, both in the government and private sectors.

“UKG Software is a $4 billion company and the world leader in Work Force Management and Human Capital Software. Work Force Management and Scheduling software, once implemented, can reduce labour costs by eliminating employee [theft] of time worked, vacation, and sick time,” Bharrat said.

He related that the Government of Guyana, one of the largest employers in Guyana, can realize a huge RoI (Return on Investment) of this software system, through efficiency, and accountability.

Many new and current private sector companies can benefit greatly from the implementation and operational services for HR/PR and WFM offered by HRTM Consulting in Guyana, he said.

“UKG also has a product, Telestaff for police scheduling. HRTM has worked with this product at over 300 police and fire departments in the US and Canada. This product is currently being implemented at the TSA and ICE agencies in the US government,” Bharrat added.

According to him, HRTM can demonstrate and prove to the Government of Guyana that the use of such systems will save money and is an introduction to the latest technology.

HRTM will employ and train Guyanese to be part of the implementation team and retain them after the post-implementation phase, so as to maintain and work on other projects, in Guyana, the Caribbean, and the US.

“University of Guyana technology graduates will have a portal to intern and be hired by HRTM while being highly compensated. HRTM has recently started an office in Guyana and hired seven employees who are supporting HRTM clients in North America,” Bharrat stated.

He added: “Guyana has some of the most brilliant young minds. We at HRTM see an opportunity that would be mutually beneficial to all, by offering them an opportunity to advance themselves and Guyana. As part of our Guyana strategy, we will engage UKG in the sales cycle and use Guyana as an entry point.”
