In 2015, we became the first supermarket to adopt the living wage rate recommended by the Living Wage Foundation. This led to a 20% increase in job applications at Lidl.
We followed this up by becoming the first British supermarket to announce that we would adopt a higher living wage in 2016 and 2017, benefiting 5,500 employees who represent one quarter of our workforce.
We want to become the most attractive employer in the retail industry. We will do this by continuing to invest in attracting the best talent, developing and training all our employees as well as supporting their progression within the business.
Our wide range of training and development opportunities reflects our diverse workforce. Whether it’s through emerging talent opportunities for graduates and undergraduate placements, our Store Manager development programmes or our international job rotations, we offer numerous possibilities to help employees develop their career with us.
As an international chain and equal opportunities employer, we value the skills and ideas of employees from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Our policy is to provide a working environment in which all our employees can realise their potential free from harassment and discrimination.
We seek to ensure that no one receives less favourable treatment because of gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy, marital/civil status, sexual orientation, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, age, religious beliefs or disability.
All employees, prospective employees, suppliers and visitors are to be treated with respect, too.
