We are thrilled to announce that our amazing colleagues have won big at the Retail Week Awards 2023! The awards ceremony, held last night, celebrates the contributions within the retail industry from companies who show innovation, vision, resilience and drive.

Congratulations to everyone involved!
Neurodiversity Celebration Week was launched to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived. The goal is to create more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual – people like Chris, for instance: “I’m very proud to be taking part in Neurodiversity Celebration Week. And I’m also proud of the part Currys is playing to bring this to life.” Chris recently went through the process of obtaining a formal autism diagnosis with the support of the business and his team. You can read more about his story below. We’re proud to have such a diverse and inclusive team at Currys. #WeWinTogether #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #Autism #Neurodiversity
We 💜 hybrid working! Colleagues from the Talent Acquisition team recently took the opportunity to meet up at the fabulous Birmingham WeWork site. Although team members are based all over the country, they have access to WeWork sites nationwide. That means they can mingle, meet new people and catch up face-to-face. It’s official: hybrid working in (plus pub lunches!).
The best way to learn about tech? Get your hands on it. The Newry store team recently had the chance to do just that at a brilliant mini workshop. It was an opportunity for colleagues to get up close and personal with products from some of the biggest brands around. Think Sony, Google, Sky – and that’s just the start! There was even a fun quiz at the end with prizes for the winners. Next stop for the training roadshow: Belfast! #Newry #LearningDevelopment #HandsOnTraining
Currys is the first-ever winner of Reed Learning’s Best Apprenticeship Employer of the Year award! Jonny, our Emerging Talent Manager, explained how apprenticeships help upskill colleagues and provide skills for life: “Currys has developed more than 1,300 apprentices across the business. Some apprentices go on to achieve promotions after completing their programme and others progress into other roles.” Think an Apprenticeship could be right for you?

LGBTQ+ History Month isn't just a date in the calendar. It’s an opportunity to share stories so we can all gain a better understanding of the LGBTQ+ community. Why is this so important? Because with greater awareness of the past, we can be better allies for LGBTQ+ colleagues. Team mates in our Pride at Currys colleague resource group have lots of great expertise and tips to share. We'll be amplifying their voices across our social channels this month – so watch this space! 🏳️🌈 #LGBTQHM23 #LGBTQ #DiversityInclusion #PrideAtCurrys

Inclusive, open, accessible: that’s how the workplace should be. It’s good to know that colleagues like Sarah are helping to create a welcoming and inclusive workplace though our Pride at Currys Employee Resource Group. “Being yourself isn't always easy; going to work as yourself isn't always easy. Showing up as myself to a meeting with people in senior positions talking about Pride At Currys was a proud moment for myself and everyone who has been involved. Showing that love wins over hate. It makes me want to push on and do more! Together, we're making Currys a more diverse and inclusive business!” We're right by your side, Sarah. #DiversityInclusion #WeWinTogether #PrideAtCurrys
