Whitbread selects Ceridian for HR services

Whitbread, the UK's leading hospitality company, has signed a five year HR and payroll outsourcing deal with Ceridian, one of the largest providers of human resource services in the world. The partnership will see Ceridian delivering HR services to over 30,000 employees across the UK operation, including Premier Inn, Table Table, Taybarns, Costa Coffee, Brewers Fayre and Beefeater.

Our decision to work with Ceridian was based largely on their technology offering, combined with their demonstrable experience in HR outsourcing. Not only were we impressed with the capability of Ceridian HRevolution, which we believe has the flexibility to support our growth plans for 2009 and beyond, but also the expertise and professionalism of the entire Ceridian team. This move further supports our strategy of concentrating on core activities whilst raising efficiency levels across our organisation. Ben Wishart, Change and Information Director - Whitbread

Doug Sawers, managing director for Ceridian in the UK, said:

"Having undergone an extensive review, we were delighted to have been given the opportunity to work with Whitbread. Utilising our centre of excellence in Glasgow and our offshore capability in Mauritius, Ceridian is able to deliver a real competitive advantage to Whitbread. We look forward to supporting their people initiatives and their wider business strategy with a combination of industry-leading technology, consultancy and service."

Implementation is well under way with service expected to go live in a phased approach throughout 2009.
