How the Head of People at Fulham F.C. boosted engagement

The Challenge

Fulham F.C., London’s oldest professional football club, grew into a Premier League mainstay with a complex workforce spanning Craven Cottage, its academy, and charitable foundation. The club needed a single platform to unify operations across departments, maintain compliance, and preserve its close-knit culture.

The Solution

Fulham used Bob to unify teams, centralize data, and simplify compliance management. The platform became a digital hub connecting staff across all areas of the club, while Bob Learning supported new training requirements tied to Premier League standards.

The Results

Bob helped Fulham create a more unified, compliant, and people-first organization. People now feel connected across roles, celebrate milestones, and engage through the platform’s community features. Bob also helps the club meet strict league requirements for training and safeguarding.

Bob enables us to give people the voice to reach out to other organizations, to share their opinions, and to share their achievements. And that makes everyone feel proud of what we’re doing at Fulham.
