The Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) has launched its annual Colleague Survey, calling on people working in local shops to provide their views on employment in the convenience sector.
Now in its seventh year, the survey will inform ACS’ Local Shop Report and other research projects, and is designed to feed into discussions with the government and highlight the positive impact of local shops; contribute to improve colleagues’ working environments through benchmarking and frame discussions at ACS’ employment expert group and other meetings and events.
“Our annual Colleague Survey forms a vital part of our research and informs our conversations with policymakers on the needs of people employed in our sector and helps employers to gain a better understanding of how they can support their staff,” James Lowman, ACS chief executive, said.
“We are urging all colleagues working in convenience stores to take part in the survey and provide information about their experiences of working in local shops to ensure that their voice is heard and to help us create an accurate picture of what it is like to work in our sector.”
The survey, available here, will run till 4 March 2022.
