In the UK we have a diverse society. There are people from many
different backgrounds and cultures. There are also changes taking
place in the number of men and women in the population. These
changes to population are called ‘demographics’. One key
demographic is that an increasing number of older people are
working – an ageing workforce. Tesco’s policy is to ensure that its
workforce has a balance of different people. It is keen to search
for talent wherever it lies. At Tesco, ‘Everyone is welcome’. Tesco
recognises that every person is different and will bring unique
talents and experiences to a role.
‘Difference can be our strength because talent and diversity
are two sides of the same coin. To focus on one while
ignoring the other is like trying to run a store with no
customers – it just won’t work’.
