Challenge
Chelsea Football Club required high-quality, skilled events staff to consistently maintain excellence. Due to their VIP clientele, experience and expertise within their hospitality workforce was essential for the success of each match day.
Their main challenges were:
Finding consistency in staffing across all departments, with a preference for the same team working across all matches due to their VIP clientele’s attendance.
Sourcing experienced and skilled hospitality workers to exceed their clients’ high expectations and provide a memorable, quality service during each match.
Streamlining their agency support on match days by finding a core supplier to reduce their need for multiple agencies.
How did Coople help?
Chelsea Football Club relied on Coople to build the quality workforce they needed to support their season. They used Coople’s rating system and skills validation to source the best workers and create their own favourite workers. This enabled them to drive consistency across their seasons.
Chelsea Football Club sourced a core team of check in supervisors to ensure workers were being allocated to the correct positions each match day. Coople enforced a stringent and efficient accreditation process to ensure workers were fully trained and provided the best experience possible. As a result of this, Chelsea Football Club’s coverage improved to 97% for each match day and experienced an increase in positive reviews from clients.
Due to Coople and Chelsea Football Clubs long-standing partnership, Coople were requested to support their staffing at new areas at the training ground and the Kingsmeadow where the Chelsea Football Club Women play.
