Food manufacturer Bakkavor Group selects Cezanne’s Global HR and Talent Management Software

by Personnel Today 17 Mar 2010

Bakkavor Group, a leading manufacturing company specialising in freshly prepared foods, has selected Cezanne Software to provide systems to manage key strategic Human Resources (HR) activities across its international operations.

Bakkavor Group, with headquarters in the UK and Iceland, operates 57 factories and employs over 19,000 people in ten countries, with the majority of the factories UK based.  Cezanne Software is to supply solutions to enable the company to manage all aspects of HR including Succession Planning, Career Planning and Performance Management.  Cezanne’s systems were selected for their multi-lingual capabilities, and for the company’s strong track record in implementing international HR software solutions.

After a stringent procurement process, Bakkavor Group has purchased People, Recruitment, Performance, Succession and Career Planning and Organization Charting modules from Cezanne.  The software will cover core HR administration including sickness, absence monitoring, holiday management, discipline and grievance details, reward, pension and benefits.  The software will also be used to manage Bakkavor’s appraisal programme, personal development plans and help to identify those employees with high potential.

Katie Heath, HR Systems Manager at Bakkavor commented, “Bakkavor, in common with many companies today, operates in a global economy.  Companies are increasingly establishing themselves in all corners of the world, which has presented many new challenges for business and in human resource management in particular.

“Our people and values are vital to our success, especially as we continue to grow and our long-term aim is to become an employer of choice and a “good neighbour” in the local communities where our businesses are based. Therefore, identifying the right HR software solution with international capabilities was an extremely important decision for the business.”

Ms Heath continued: “Operating in 10 countries we needed to identify a system that would be able to improve the visibility of the Group’s HR data to support strategic HR initiatives such as the allocation and leverage of talent. Cezanne’s dynamic dashboard reporting will help Bakkavor achieve this. Also, the fact that Cezanne’s HR software supports multiple languages on a single instance of the product means that when our users sign on in France, the system will automatically display the application in French.”

“Cezanne presented at our global HR conference, which was represented by all of Bakkavor’s HR management team and the feedback from the presentation of the software at the conference was really positive with almost every site wanting to participate in the pilot stage.”

Cezanne’s HR software solution will be integrated with other Bakkavor applications including Payroll and Time Attendance to eliminate duplicate data entry and ensure data integrity.

Julie Windsor, UK Operations Director at Cezanne Software said, “Cezanne is delighted to work with Bakkavor and help them to overcome some of the challenges that many large international companies face. Our experience in the global HR and Talent Management software marketplace and the specialist product functionality makes us well placed to help Bakkavor’s HR team support broader organizational goals.”
