[GRI 405/103-1, 405-1] People from 117 nations work in the nine European countries in which we are represented. This diversity is a part of the ALDI North Group. It enriches our working relationships and reflects the diversity of our customers. Through a wide range of job profiles, entry-level and advancement opportunities and working hours schemes, we promote equal opportunities and cement our position as an attractive employer.
[GRI 405/103-2] We reject any form of discrimination. In all countries, all employees have the same opportunities irrespective of gender, age, religion or belief, sexual identity, origin or physical disability. Our focus is on performance.
To create a level playing field for all, we provide support for our employees and help them get the work-life balance right between career, leisure time and family. Work-life balance is an important topic of the future for us, the significance of which was underscored in our 2017 materiality survey. When working out duty rosters, the working hours are arranged to take maximum account of the employees’ interests. The companies of the ALDI North Group offer some 48,000 opportunities for part-time jobs, particularly in the stores (90 per cent).
[GRI 102-10, 405/103-2, 407/103-1/2/3] Since the 1970s, an elected employee representative organisation has been in place at ALDI North Germany directly when a new company is established. Once again, each of the 34 regional companies was represented by its own works council in 2017. At the beginning of 2018, business operations at the regional companies Hoyerswerda and Könnern underwent restructuring; the stores were not affected. Some of the employees in administration and logistics were transferred to other regional companies. A reconciliation of interests and a social compensation plan were drawn up for the remaining employees. Works councils also exist in Belgium and the Netherlands.
[GRI 405/103-2, 407/103-1/2/3] Since 2015, employees in the Netherlands have had access to a clearly regulated grievance system The grievance system sends a clear message of zero tolerance against any form of discrimination to the entire workforce. Since 2009, an action plan has been in place at the each of the Spanish companies which comes into force if there are any signs of harassment. The plan guarantees that the situation will be clarified or remedied within 24 hours. The Spanish companies also introduced an action plan for equal rights in 2009. This plan is used to regularly review the employee structure in order to ensure equal opportunities and equal treatment.
[GRI 405/103-2/3] In 2017, women held some 27 per cent of management positions at the ALDI North Group. Forty-three per cent of our stores are managed by women. We see this as confirmation of our philosophy of placing a clear focus on individual performance when filling management positions.
The results of the first employee surveys in early 2017 showed us that employees are proud to work for the ALDI North Group. At the same time, they made it clear that there was still room for improvement with regard to certain positions and functions when it comes to work-life balance. The first measures have been taken on the basis of the survey results. Among other things, we are encouraging our managers and promoting a respectful and appreciative approach to interpersonal relationships. In late 2017, ALDI Poland kicked off a project designed to promote team spirit and employee motivation.
