Supermarket giant to introduce hybrid working at Leicester offices

Supermarket giant Asda has said it will make hybrid working permanent at its George Gouse office in Leicester permanent when Covid restrictions are lifted.

The company has also made the pledge at its Leeds head office. Some 4,000 staff work at the two sites.

Jacki Simpson, Asda’s vice president of people operations, said: “We have learned a great deal about working patterns during the last 16 months and have seen colleagues work productively across different locations.

“We know they welcome the increased flexibility of remote working. However, they also acknowledge there is some work that is simply better done from the office, so as we move forward a hybrid working model is the right approach for our people and the business.”
