Case Study: Lantmännen Unibake reduces recruitment spend and improves staff retention with Lumesse Talent Management

Global HR Platform Reduces Recruitment Spend and Improves Staff Retention

Lantmännen Unibake, a leading international bakery group operating 19 bakeries with about 3,940 employees across Europe, the USA and Russia, needed a way to surface local skills, boost cross‑border knowledge sharing and improve retention. The company set ambitious targets to fill 80% of vacancies internally and cut turnover by 1% per year over three years to save €450,000 annually in recruitment and induction costs.

In 2010 Unibake rolled out Lumesse Talent Management (“My Unibake”)—talent acquisition, performance, learning and career/succession modules with employee self‑service skills profiles and local configurability. The hosted platform increased visibility of internal talent and cross‑market knowledge sharing, enabled short international projects that improved engagement, and put Unibake on track to meet its internal hire and cost‑saving goals.
