Starting the Easter Bank Holiday with some great news, I am pleased to announce that our Food colleague discount (20% off across your Food shop) has been extended for the foreseeable future. Alongside our existing discounts in Travel (up to £500 off) and Childcare (60% off childcare fees), I hope colleagues find these exclusive benefits useful.
Also, this week, I sat down with Rae Ternestal from Childcare to answer your colleague questions and announce my Easter Hamper giveaway winner!

03:08 - With a focus on healthy lifestyles and sustainable choices for many, are we considering any new colleague benefits such as gym memberships or commuter incentives?
04:21 - Can you tell us how the Co-op members app has performed since it was updated?
05:39 - With the Society AGM now reverting back to a hybrid meeting, what was the thinking behind this compared to a festival for members?
7:08 - In the recent pay review across the Society, shop floor workers got between a 5% and 6.5% pay rise excluding Managers across the society who only had between a 1 and 2% pay rise and non-shop floor staff, e.g. head office staff who only got a 1% pay rise. Can you explain the reason for the difference please as it is a significant percentage difference?
9:47 - A question from the host - Now that a lot of working parents will be receiving 30hrs funding from September, will there be a review of the Colleague discount?
