You make the difference
The award winning procurement team at Sainsburys has put together following short film about why you should join them.
Sainsbury plc is a leading UK food retailer with interests in financial services. It consists of Sainsbury's Supermarkets, Sainsbury's Local, Bells Stores, Jacksons Stores and JB Beaumont, Sainsbury's Online and Sainsbury's Bank, and employs around 150,000 people.
Sainbury’s objective is simple; to serve customers well and thereby provide shareholders with good, sustainable financial returns. The company aims to ensure that all colleagues have opportunities to develop their abilities and are rewarded for their contribution to the success of the business.
Sainsbury’s has five principles that provide a framework for the way they do business, and are committed to: -
- Being the best for food and health
- Sourcing with integrity
- Showing respect for our environment
- Making a positive difference to our community
- Providing a great place to work
Being ‘A great place to work’ is rooted in Sainsbury’s heritage and values. It also plays a crucial role in achieving our business goals. We rely on our 150,000 colleagues to deliver great service to our customers every single day.
We are committed to championing equality, diversity, inclusion and flexible working options for our colleagues. We remain committed to recruiting, retaining and engaging the best people, from backgrounds that reflect the communities we serve. We believe that every colleague, no matter where they work or the role they perform, should be encouraged to develop and make best use of their skills.
We value the opinions of our colleagues and we communicate honestly with them. We also believe in recognising and rewarding our colleagues for the vital part they play in making Sainsbury’s a great place to work.
We are committed to providing competitive pay and benefits to our colleagues. In 2008/09, 120,000 colleagues will share a bonus of £60 million, bringing the total amount paid out over the last four years to over £210 million. The bonus scheme is linked to the delivery of great service and product availability as well as overall sales and profit measures. Our colleagues also have access to a wide range of voluntary benefits through our 'You Choose' programme and we offer a colleague discount of 10% in our stores for all eligible colleagues.
An important part of our total reward package is our pension scheme. Sainsbury’s offers all colleagues the option to join a contributory pension scheme, the J Sainsbury Stakeholder Pensions Plan.
Our Shining Stars Award programme recognises the fantastic work colleagues do every day in going the extra mile when needed.
