“Hive will replace multiple existing systems and manual processes, bringing everything together into one easy to use platform. This initiative is a top priority for our leadership team."
Marc Werner, CEO, Costa Group
Hive is a new employment system that will allow Costa to simplify and improve the way you manage your employment-related information.
Hive will replace multiple existing systems and manual processes, bringing everything together into one easy-to-use platform.
With Hive you’ll be able to:
• Manage your information
• Apply for jobs at Costa
• Access and view your payslips
• Track your timesheets
• Plan and submit your leave requests
… And much more!
We will start using Hive in 2026, and there’s plenty to do to make sure the transition is smooth for all staff. The Hive team will be collaborating across the business to get you the right information at the right times, but ‘keen beans’ can also keep an eye on this page for regular updates.
Launching a new employment system across a business of Costa’s size and complexity takes a lot of planning, organisation and collaboration. This graphic shows the steps we’re taking to make sure the transition to Hive is as smooth as possible and that you start seeing real benefits from ‘day one’!
