CASE STUDY

Case Study: Cashing in on opportunities

Asda at a glance!! 

Asda Stores is a British supermarket chain that retails food, clothing, toys and general merchandise.



Founded as Associated Dairies and Farm Stores in 1949 in Leeds.



Asda became the second largest store chain in the UK after Tesco, having overtaken Sainsbury’s in 2003.



Company has 370 stores in the UK.



Asda currently employs approximately 165,000 employees, 62% of whom work part-time. Its workforce comprises 41% male and 59% female staff.



Online Sales & Marketing: 

The Asda Online Sales and Marketing Plan is a low risk, low start-up cost business opportunity that is open to employees



It allows you to build their business through retailing products and to develop a team, that builds business network.





Operational philosophy: Employee involvement is a big part of Asda Stores’ For reward manager Jayne Tory, Online schemes are a hugely important part of the total reward package at Asda, which is owned by US retail giant Wal-Mart. “Where I think we are industry-leading and ahead of the pack is in the things that are not necessarily about pay,” she says. “It is key to have a platform to make staff feel they are contributing to the business. We are always looking at what other ways we can really engage our colleagues to help achieve our goals, not with an extra 10 pence in their pay packet, but by saying ‘thank you’.”



 

But the job of rewarding all Asda’s workforce is not easy. With 165,000 staff – referred to by the company as “colleagues” – based in locations stretching from the south coast of England to Scotland and Northern Ireland, Asda has a very diverse workforce. Within that fact lies the challenge of knowing the make-up of a typical store, which can range from huge Asda Wal-Mart Supercentres to standard Asda stores, to smaller stores and Asda Living (non-food) stores.



Moving away from a cumbersome plan that involved employees being awarded points to save up for prizes, the new scheme enables managers and staff to reward their colleagues for a job well done.



“Now, cards with scratch-off reveal panels are in stores across the whole business. So either a colleague or a manager, who wants to recognise something a colleague has done, can obtain one of these cards and give it to the person in a huddle, so it is a group recognition. It might be a DVD, a CD, a bunch of flowers, a box of chocolates, or even permission to go home an hour earlier. It is an immediate ‘thank you’.”



Pension Defined contribution pension – one trust-based plan and one contract-based scheme



Healthcare Voluntary healthcare and dental cash plan Private medical insurance for senior managers. Health screening for some senior managers



Voluntary benefits Selection of discounted products, ranging from days out to retail vouchers Bikes-for-work and childcare vouchers 10% employee discount scheme in Asda stores



Flexible working Various flexible working schemes, including time off for a child’s first day at school, the birth of a grandchild, and career breaks

Queries!!!! 

Due to excess fringe benefits provided, the Company is unable to cope up in achieving targets??
