Some fantastic news out of Hong Kong! 🎉 Currys HK has been recognised with a Good Employer Charter 2024 certificate by the local Labour Department. This is a bi-annual award, aimed at encouraging employers to offer more supportive policies for employees. For example: 🔸 Employment practices that prioritise employee wellbeing 🔸 Policies that promote a healthy work-life balance 🔸 Enhanced employee benefits that exceed statutory requirements 🔸 Clear and effective communication with employees As well as the Good Employer Charter 2024, Currys HK has also received the Good MPF Award by the Pension Institution for the third consecutive year. Here's the multi-award-winning team with our CEO Alex Baldock and CCO Ed Connolly who visited last month. Congrats everyone!
Colleagues smashing their learning and development goals – we love to see it! Yasmeen, a Lead Talent and Acquisition Partner, recently graduated from our Effective Representative Development Programme. She says: "My colleagues and I have completed a number of virtual learning modules together. Our aim? To become truly effective representatives for our colleagues and business. Today was our graduation ceremony at Fort Dunlop! I’ve been with Currys for nine years this week, and it never fails to amaze me how we enable capable and committed colleagues to make Currys such an amazing place to work." Great work, Yasmeen!
The most wonderful time of the year (also known as our annual Peak event) took place this week! On Wednesday and Thursday, we welcomed along our tech suppliers, from SharkNinja and HP to Dyson, with colleagues able to attend talks and product demos to keep them fully up to date ahead of Black Friday and the rest of the festive period. Alongside the latest tech, colleagues could meet some of the People team at the Currys Careers stand, and learn more about growth and development opportunities within the business, as well as the perks and benefits we offer. Colleagues also got the opportunity to connect with representatives from all our ERGs: Embrace, Pride at Currys, Disability at Currys, and the Women's network. It was all rounded off by the annual Amazing People Awards, celebrating our best of the best. It's truly a brilliant event and we're a little sad it's over for another year!
