Holland & Barrett and Theo Paphitis Retail Group tap Fourth tech

Fourth has announced partnerships with Holland & Barrett and the Theo Paphitis Retail Group (TPRG), which includes the high street brands Robert Dyas, Ryman, and Boux Avenue.

This partnership will see Fourth’s workforce management technology implemented in over 1,000 stores across the UK for almost 10,000 employees of Holland & Barrett and TPRG.

This will help them manage the full employee lifecycle from hiring and onboarding, through to scheduling, paying, engaging, and ultimately retaining employees.

Caroline Kitcher of Holland & Barrett says: “Following the pandemic, improving our colleagues experience has been on the top of our priority list and so we looked to Fourth to help us advance the way we use HR technology to support our colleagues in relation to their employment lifecycle, as well as providing the business with powerful MI and insights.”

“Fourth’s tech platform and initiatives will help us transform our colleagues experience for the better, enabling change and agility to our growing workforce and we look forward to seeing its positive impact.”

Laura Keane of TPRG comments: “We’ve been looking for a way to rejuvenate and replace complex systems and processes with an up-to-date and modern workforce management system, I’m pleased to say we’ve found that with Fourth.”

“We’re looking forward to seeing how its tech helps to empower our employees to succeed with the new workforce management system, its functionalities and capabilities.”

Sebastien Sepierre, Managing Director – EMEA, Fourth, says: “The importance of fast, seamless, and transparent communication between employer and employee couldn’t be more important going forward out of the pandemic.”

“Greater reliance on technology that can bring forth this evolution is going to be of high importance and that’s why both TPRG and Holland & Barrett have decided now is the time to work with Fourth.”
