"Support and safety at work are crucial," says Ewa on mental health at Lidl   Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, a reminder that taking care of your mind is an investment in yourself. We spoke with Ewa, Senior Relationship Consultant (Person of Trust) at Lidl Polska, about the importance of mental health and her role at Lidl.   "For over 20 years, I’ve combined my psychological knowledge with business, supporting managers and promoting mental well-being through individual sessions, training, and workshops." 🤝✨   The Relationship Expert role exists across many Lidl countries to offer confidential support with both personal and professional challenges. As trusted advisors, they provide a safe space, mediate conflicts, and help employees navigate difficult situations. ❤️🩹   Ewa also shared key tips for supporting those who are facing challenges: ✅ Listen without judgment – be fully present without giving unsolicited advice. ✅ Ensure safety – provide logistical and emotional support. ✅ Respect different reactions – everyone processes stress differently. ✅ Offer long-term support – help is often needed beyond the immediate crisis. ✅ Embrace difficult emotions – acknowledge sadness and anger without suppressing them.   "I’m glad that at Lidl, colleagues can seek assistance from Relationship Consultants for wholehearted support. Additionally, we provide an Employee Support Programme that offers access to various materials to promote mental and physical health." ❤️💙💛   How do you prioritize your mental health daily? 🧘🍃 Share your tips with us! #LidlInternational #InsideLidl #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth #teamlidl

Pioneering a more sustainable future with an energy self-sufficient store in Italy   Our latest endeavor with Lidl Italia is an energy self-sufficient store in Villafranca, Italy. 🇮🇹🌱   Opened at the end of May 2024, this project highlights our goal of building energy self-sufficient stores that are scalable on an international level while also setting a new standard for sustainable construction. The store in Villafranca serves as a blueprint for an energy self-sufficient overall concept with a modular system. This means that individual elements can be adopted for future stores. 🌍✨   The store uses a variety of methods to achieve a balanced energy self-sufficiency. These include: 🤏 minimizing energy demand and CO₂ emissions using specific materials and equipment 🔋 maximizing energy production through photovoltaics that cover the store’s optimized energy demand and achieving an annual energy balance.   To increase sustainability, CO₂ emissions have been reduced by using natural materials such as wood and cellulose. In addition, refrigeration units with doors are used and a rainwater management system has been implemented. Recycled products from PreZero International and separable component connections in the building also save resources.   “With this store, developed in close collaboration with our colleagues of the Construction Department at Lidl International, we have implemented our vision of sustainable building and set a new benchmark for retail buildings,” says Emilio Arduino, Chief Real Estate Officer at Lidl Italia.   What else would you like to know about the new store? 👇 #Lidlinternational #LidlItalia #Sustainability #RealEstate #teamlidl 

"Living and working in a different language has increased my cultural awareness" Casi, Purchasing Manager at Lidl International, has been part of #teamlidl for 5 years. She began her journey as a trainee in the purchasing department at Lidl GB, where she specialized in fish products. 🐟 Now, as part of the Lidl International Job Rotation Program, Casi has moved to Germany and is taking on a new challenge—working on baked goods and frozen desserts for the first time in her career! 🥨🍨 Having always lived in Great Britain, working in a non-English-speaking environment was initially daunting, but it quickly boosted Casi’s confidence. "At first, it was challenging, but it’s been a great way to grow both personally and professionally!" 💪 After five years in London, moving to a smaller German city was quite a change, but one she’s embraced wholeheartedly. "The area is so green, with vineyards, castles, and charming old towns to explore! Plus, it’s easier to travel to other European countries, which adds to the adventure." 🇬🇧🇩🇪 For anyone considering international experience, Casi’s advice is simple: "Be a ‘yes’ person, put yourself out there, and meet new people. Focus on what you'll miss about your new country when it's time to leave!" Have you ever pushed yourself out of your comfort zone for a new experience? 👇 #LidlInternational #LidlExpats #teamlidl
