Asda’s £17m Christmas cracker for its staff
CHRISTMAS has come early for Asda’s employees, who are sharing a £17million thank-you package.
The rewards are for each of the supermarket chain’s 175,000 staff, such as the delighted group above at Asda in Small Heath, Birmingham.
They include a £20 gift voucher, a free Christmas meal and £5 towards a festive party. There will also be a 20 per cent discount card for use on a range of products – double the usual 10 per cent saving for employees. The Festive Thank-You is the latest in a series of staff rewards. The store has spent £90million on treating its employees during the past 12 months.
Every day for the two weeks before December 25, Asda will give an extra £10 gift voucher to employees who have delivered exceptional customer service.
It has also launched a programme called The Twelve Days of Christmas. Every day for the two weeks before December 25, Asda will give an extra £10 gift voucher to employees who have delivered exceptional customer service.
Hayley Tatum, of Asda, said: “Our in-store and depot colleagues are the heroes of our business, working exceptionally hard to deliver the very best for our customers.”
