Flexible working

We’re not just committed to introducing fresher tech across our business - we’re just as excited about introducing fresh new ways of working too. And that begins with offering our people true flexibility.

At Morrisons, we believe that flexible working can really make a difference. It can help us be more productive as a business. It can bring all kinds of health benefits. And it puts everyone’s wellbeing first.

So, at Head Office we’re beginning to introduce a brand new 4 day week working concept, which means many of our people will work nine hour shifts instead of eight hours, with a six hour Saturday shift thirteen times a year. The idea is that this innovative new way of working will mean we’re much more flexible and responsive, and we think it will make Morrisons a place where more people will want to join - and stay.

Thanks to our role in Feeding the Nation, we’ve shown over the last few months how we can continue to run our business while many of us work from home. We not only made sure that we put the right tech in place to make it all happen, we proved that it really worked. In fact, the shift to digital working has brought us much greater flexibility. And sped up our business and improved our competitiveness, too. 

But we think that one of the biggest impacts over the long term will be better mental health and wellbeing for everyone, starting with having more time to spend socialising, visiting family and being active in the community.

And that’s the kind of fresh approach that everyone can benefit from.
