Lagardère Travel Retail

A multicultural organization across 6 West African countries harmonized its HR practices and cut admin time by 60%.

Our multicultural, multi-country footprint demands that we centralize and harmonize our HR practices — Socium lets us meet that challenge. We used to spend an enormous amount of time on admin; today, we're refocusing on supporting and developing our people.

The context

A subsidiary of the Lagardère group, Lagardère Travel Retail operates retail spaces in airports and train stations. In West Africa, the brand runs across six countries — a deeply multicultural, multi-country organization where, until now, each subsidiary managed its HR its own way.

The challenge
