Autism Awareness Month kicks off today, and we’ll be learning more about autism and how best to support autistic people. We’re determined that everyone is included and represented in our business – it’s how we win together. To make sure that that’s the case, we’ve created a new partnership with the Business Disability Forum (BDF). This partnership will give us access to resources, tools, expert advice and best practice learnings from other companies. It will also play an important part in helping us build more capability in neurodiversity. One of the first events will be a free webinar to discuss neurodiversity in the workplace. Hosted by the BDF, it will take place at midday today and is open to all colleagues.
In Leicester, our rapid Covid testing programme is giving colleagues peace of mind. Emily, from the Fosse Park store, reflects on how straightforward the testing was: "Absolutely fantastic what the company is doing for us all to keep us safe! At Fosse Park, our staff in store were tested and it was extremely quick and easy! All 32 colleagues were tested, and we got the results back in no time at all (thankfully all negative). Great work from everyone involved, including the nurses." Now colleagues can get back to helping customers via drive-thru/walk-up order and collect, knowing everyone is well.
