Case Study: gategroup achieves greater HR agility and unified workforce control with Workday Adaptive Planning

gategroup gains greater HR agility to adapt to change

gategroup, the leading global airline catering, onboard retail, and equipment provider headquartered in Switzerland, operates in 60 countries with a large mix of permanent, contractor, and seasonal staff. Rapid growth through mergers and acquisitions left the company with more than 50 disparate HR systems, fragmented data, and limited visibility—hindering its ability to respond quickly to customer needs and scale efficiently.

gategroup implemented Workday (HCM, Learning, Recruiting, Payroll) to create a single, secure data core and standardize HR processes worldwide. The move delivered real-time KPIs and mobile dashboards, reduced manual administration, sped recruiting for ~7,000 hires a year, and made it easy to add people and countries after acquisitions—giving HR the agility to make faster, better business decisions.
