Last month, we celebrated International Women’s Day across our business and the campaign theme was 'Accelerate Action’. The aim of ‘Accelerate Action’ is to encourage us all to actively consider the things we’re doing to help real and sustained change towards gender equality happen faster, calling for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the barriers and biases that women face, both in their personal lives and professionally. Our Asda Express colleagues got involved with IWD activity and shared what they would do to #AccelerateAction.
When colleagues at our Derby store say that working at Asda is like being in one big family, they're not wrong ... there are 18 different mums at the store who work with their children! One of the mums looking forward to Mother's Day is Wendy, who says that her daughter Ellie calls her by her name to avoid confusing the store's other mums. She said: "When someone says mum here, we all turn around! Asda is such a brilliant place to work, and we are like one big happy family. We are all friends here and often have nights out together too. I started out as a temp 19 years ago and I'm still here!" Optical colleague Clare first started working at the store 30 years ago and met her husband Andrew at Asda. Clare's sisters Mandy and Sharon have also worked there, so it was no surprise to her that her daughter Alisha joined her at Asda three years ago. Clare said: "I suppose it was inevitable that Alisha would work here too! She loves it here and she's loved by everyone. We have lunch together every day and it's a real treat working in the same store as her."
