“Over the past eighteen months we’ve introduced a number of initiatives targeting young people across Britain in a bid to get them back to work”.
“22 per cent of our workforce is aged between 16 and 25 and each and every one of these colleagues play an important role in the Asda Business.”
“We’re one of the only retailers in the UK who offer the same rate of pay to under 18’s. Every job that each of our 165,000 colleagues does is vital in the development of our business and that’s why we believe in equal pay for all.”
“This year we also pledged to create 7000 new jobs. This was in addition to working with Local Employment Partnerships to get another 2500 Britons back to work. So far, this scheme has been hugely successful. We’ve already recruited many new colleagues through our work with job centre plus this year.”
“We offer a range of flexible working options for our younger colleagues, such as term time working for students studying; graduate programmes and Stepping Stones (management training) for colleagues who want to develop a career within retail.”
Andy Bond, Chief Executive, Asda
