HCSS, a leading provider of innovative software that helps heavy civil businesses streamline operations, recently completed their first Users Group Meeting (UGM) Session, Jan. 31 - Feb. 3, 2022. The second "Empower Every Employee" session was held Feb. 21-24, 2022, at the HCSS corporate campus in Sugar Land. 

"Commanding every stage, empowering every employee, and accounting for every detail is the major theme of this year's UGM," said Steve McGough, President at HCSS. "With the labor shortage the biggest challenge for companies in 2022, contractors need to use technology to improve efficiencies and help employees do more work. HCSS has over 60 solutions for companies that will drive value and increase productivity so workers can do more with less."

Over 1,200 conference attendees learned significant lessons from the various sessions presented by company executives and product managers. Steve McGough gave the keynote address on industry challenges, citing, "The key issue is the lack of labor, with 83% of contractors reporting difficulty filling salaried and hourly craft positions and 72% of contractors identifying the labor shortage as the biggest challenge for 2022."
