Case Study: Carmeuse achieves smarter HR management and streamlined global collaboration with Asana

Carmeuse achieves smarter HR management with Asana

Carmeuse, a 160‑year‑old mining and engineering group with about 4,700 employees worldwide, faced fragmented HR ways of working—around 70 HR staff across regions relied on spreadsheets and siloed processes that created heavy “work about work.” Leaders reported spending up to 40% of their time on repetitive communication, reporting and coordination, and wanted to mature how projects and collaborative work were managed.

They implemented Asana via a small, champion‑led rollout, used training and community resources, and integrated it with tools like Microsoft Teams. By adopting Asana templates for OKRs, ERP releases and cross‑functional projects, Carmeuse centralized information, reduced manual admin and duplicated effort, increased visibility into progress and dependencies, and improved efficiency—helping teams stay connected during COVID and allowing managers to reclaim time and finish the week earlier.
