💼 Big changes are brewing at Lidl just weeks before Christmas! Reports suggest the budget supermarket giant plans to cut 130 jobs nationwide, focusing on roles within their regional distribution hubs. This restructuring aims to centralise HR operations at their head office in Tolworth, making way for 100 brand-new positions there. 📍
While the move is part of an efficiency drive to support Lidl’s ambitious growth, it has left many employees facing uncertainty during the festive season. Affected staff will embark on a 90-day consultation period to explore their options. 🌟 The company is committed to supporting these colleagues, potentially offering alternative roles where possible.
In a recent statement, Lidl emphasised the need to streamline processes to bolster their business model, ensuring they’re on solid ground for future expansion. This shake-up comes hot on the heels of a previous announcement reducing head office staff by 70 roles earlier this year.
Rest assured, no customer-facing roles are impacted by these changes. We’ll keep you posted on any developments. Stay tuned for updates and feel free to share your thoughts! 🛒💬
