Aldi rolls out allyship training to all UK managers

By Nagasunder in UK Employment news, posted April 18, 2023

Aldi is implementing allyship training for all of its managers across the UK to guarantee its 40,000-strong workforce feels appreciated and included.

The training will try to empower and motivate managers to better support, work with, and advocate for minority colleagues.

It will also assist them in creating a more inclusive environment in their stores, warehouses, and offices.

Topics will include a growing understanding of what allyship is and its benefits, how to adopt allyship behaviours, and how to challenge others successfully.

Aldi UK diversity and inclusion director Richard Shuttleworth said: “We’re always looking for ways to better support our colleagues, and providing training for our managers is a significant step we can take to assist them and their teams in becoming allies.
