Diversity & Inclusion in Grocery

We know the value of a strong support network and how mentoring plays a key role in helping colleagues reach their full potential. Our 12-month cross-industry Mentoring Programme provides equity to historically underrepresented groups and can be tailored to work alongside your organisation's D&I and talent strategy. Listen as Amara Sharif shares more about the Mentoring Programme.

There is a lot of focus on how we engage more people in the D&I conversation across the grocery industry. Has your business thought about how the working landscape is changing? Are you equipped to support your multigenerational workforces? Clive Myrie hosted this year’s Pathways to Progress panel discussion, where panellists Zahoor Ahmad, Emma Taylor, Ian Morley and Siwan Smith delved deep into the topic and challenges of including more diverse characteristics so we can help minority and majority groups alike, and how we can prepare the industry for talent practices that will be coming down the track.
