Flexible working

We’re not just committed to introducing fresher tech across our business - we’re just as excited about introducing fresh new ways of working too. And that begins with offering our people true flexibility.

At Morrisons, we believe that flexible working can really make a difference. It can help us be more productive as a business. It can bring all kinds of health benefits. And it puts everyone’s wellbeing first.

So, at Head Office we operate over a 4-day working week, which means many of our people work nine hour shifts instead of eight hours, with a six hour Saturday shift thirteen times a year. The idea is that this innovative new way of working will mean we’re much more flexible and responsive, and we think it will make Morrisons a place where more people will want to join - and stay.

We’ve proven that we can make good things happen for our customers and our people wherever we’re working, even as most of us return to the office for a few days a week. We not only made sure that we had the right tech in place to make it all happen, but we showed that it can work. The shift to digital working brought us a lot of great flexibility, sped up our business and improved our competitiveness, and we’re taking these positives into the future with us.

But we think that one of the biggest impacts of a more flexible approach to work will be better mental health and wellbeing for everyone, starting with having more time to spend socialising, visiting family and being active in the community.

And that’s the kind of fresh approach that everyone can benefit from
