About Asda

Reimagine Retail Asda has always looked for new, better ways of doing things. In 1989, we revolutionised supermarkets with the introduction of George – the first supermarket clothing retailer in the UK. Thirty years later, we’re still introducing new ideas into our business on a daily basis. We have robot pickers who learn their own fastest routes around our warehouses. A new electric powered sustainable fleet of delivery vans. We’ve developed two new sustainable concept stores. We’re building Bluetooth-enabled apps for in-store. But, although we are reimagining retail in thousands of different ways at Asda, one thing always stays the same: our commitment to making life better for our customers. Our Culture Change is the only constant in our business, so it’s good job we embrace it. There isn’t one area of our business that we’re not refining, developing, improving or reimagining. We don’t like to stand still. We don’t stand on ceremony, either. People at Asda, whatever their role, are down-to-earth and accessible. We’re all pretty informal, and we pride ourselves on being open with each other. We believe the best results come when we all get on the same page and all pull together. Our mission is to be the most trusted retailer. We help our customers to 'Save money. Live better’ We value: * Service to our customers * Respect for the individual * Striving for excellence * Acting with integrity Opportunities and Progression People have long careers with Asda for two main reasons. Firstly, once you get into food retail at this kind of scale it really grabs you. But the other reason is that people can have incredibly diverse, fluid careers at Asda. People start on the shop floor in a temporary role and end up running a function in head office. People go from finance to operations, buying to HR. Anything is possible here. There’s so much room and so much to explore. If you’re someone who likes to say yes, you can move up, across or into a completely different area at any point in your career development. Big Business Asda is one of Britain’s biggest leading retailers. Dedicated colleagues serve customers from our network of over 600 stores and online services, including supercentres, superstores, supermarkets, Living stores, petrol filling stations and depots across the UK. More than 18 million people shop with Asda every week. Some 98 per cent of UK homes are served by www.asda.com. We take £60million is revenue every week and conduct transactions in the region of £300million. And we have nearly 150,000 colleagues (and you could be another one very soon). So when it comes to thinking big, you always have to think bigger at Asda. A Place for Everyone We want to create a truly inclusive culture where all our colleagues have the confidence to be themselves. We know that all our colleagues are unique, with different skills, personalities and styles. And together we make a great team. To support us in creating a truly inclusive culture that we can all be proud of we’ve created six Colleague Resource Groups to help steer our efforts. They cover Age, DisABILITY, Ethnicity, Gender, Pride and Wellbeing. Creating an inclusive culture also means caring about the wellbeing of our colleagues and their families. An important aspect of this is to remove the stigma associated with mental health and to equip our managers to have conversations with their teams to support colleagues’ mental health. As part of this, we actively participate in national campaigns such as Every Mind Matters and Time to Talk. What our People Say You can see more of what our colleagues say about life at Asda on our reviews page, but here's a neak preview... "I've been a driver with Asda since 2017 and it's not every day someone can say they really look forward to going to work. But I do! At Asda it feels like one team where everyone is flexible and always willing to help each other on a daily basis. The thing I love most about my job is that I get to work in the outdoors and meet different people every day. " - Philip Craig Customer Delivery Driver "I’m three years in and I’ve had the opportunity to work in lots of different roles and functions, including Technology for the past year. I enjoy the mix of people I work with from our talented technical experts, and store colleagues to customers and industry professionals. We have a flexible working approach, which gives me the right work/life balance and allows me to give 100% to my sports clubs outside of work. " - Amy Young Project Manager, Customer Experience "I love the coaching element of my role. Helping colleagues grow and develop into new areas of our business. Retail is fast paced. Every day is different, with its own challenges, which helps me continue to develop. My career at Asda has given me lots of opportunities. From learning how to drive a forklift to completing a HNC level Apprenticeship Scheme. And I’ve just been accepted onto our new development programme ‘You Can Be’ which will support me with my ambition to step up to Department Manager. " - Dean Connor General Merchandise Section Leader
