Case Study: Groupe Barrière achieves real-time financial insights and improved talent retention with Workday

Barrière - Customer Case Study

Groupe Barrière is a French hospitality group operating 18 luxury hotels and 34 casinos, with €1.16 billion in turnover (2016) and about 7,000 full‑time employees. Faced with rising customer expectations, digitally enabled competitors, and extreme seasonal swings in staffing (needs can more than triple), the company needed a unified, secure source of financial and people data to make timely strategic decisions and retain talent.

Groupe Barrière implemented Workday (Financial Management, Human Capital, Payroll for France, Time Tracking, Procurement) to centralize and standardize finance and HR processes, provide mobile access and granular, real‑time data, and simplify reporting. The change sped decision‑making, saved days extracting precise information, improved alignment across teams, boosted customer service and seasonal staff retention, and connected the company to a global Workday community.
