Case Study: Groupe Barrière empowers personnel and speeds decision-making with Workday Adaptive Planning

Barrière empowers personnel with a cutting-edge finance system

Groupe Barrière, a French hospitality group operating 16 luxury hotels and 34 casinos with €1.16 billion in 2016 revenue and about 7,000 full-time employees (and up to 23,000 seasonal staff), faced rising customer expectations, tighter margins and fierce digital competition. The company needed a unified, secure way to access finance and people data on demand to speed decision-making, retain seasonal talent and improve service quality.

By implementing Workday Financials and HCM, Barrière centralized finance processes and put real-time, granular data at employees’ fingertips across devices. The change standardized workflows, aligned HR and finance, made it easier to identify and retain top seasonal performers, saved days previously spent extracting information, and enabled faster decisions—boosting staff empowerment and customer service while positioning the group to compete more effectively.
