Diversity strengthens us
At ALDI, we believe that understanding, respecting, and valuing the uniqueness of our people and customers makes us stronger. That’s why we are committed to building an inclusive culture that values diversity in all its forms.
Our efforts to foster Diversity & Inclusion in our company
Our core value of responsibility ensures that we treat our people, customers, and partners fairly, in the pursuit of our core purpose. That is why we strive to offer fair and equal opportunities for all of our colleagues and job applicants regardless of age, sex or gender, sexual orientation, ethnic and national origin, religion or belief, disability, marital or civil partnership, or part-time or fixed-term contract status.
Our goal is to build a diverse and inclusive workforce that values diversity in all its forms, positively impacts business performance and wellbeing, and drives our competitive advantage.
Zero tolerance approach
We follow a zero tolerance approach against discrimination or harassment and have policies, resources and processes in place to protect the human rights of our employees.
SAME PAY IN SAME POSITION
At ALDI DX, we provide same pay in same position.
Flexible working options
Our hybrid work environment promotes flexibility and self-organisation through mobile working, different flexible working models depending on the job role, and "remote work abroad". Flexibility fosters the inclusion of, for example, caregivers or neurodivergent people.
Bringing people together
At ALDI DX, we have varying communities to help you connect with colleagues and broaden your network! E.g. Working Out Loud circles, internal employee networks with shared interests, and more.
Learning together and raising awareness
By providing regular Diversity & Inclusion learning experiences, we raise awareness and foster a culture of open conversation, reciprocal respect, and empathy.
Listen to your voice
We regularly conduct employee surveys and pulse checks to provide you with a channel to share your voice and perspectives on how to improve our work experience further.
BREAKING DOWN LANGUAGE BARRIERS
We provide varying services such as translation services, German and English courses, language cafés to practice presentations, et cetera.
Diverse career paths
We recognise that people have individual characteristics, personalities, and strengths. Our three different IT career tracks enable employees to find their individual track tailored to their strengths and needs.
Benefits, Health and Wellbeing
All employees have equal access to varying benefits such as childcare options and a range of health-related services as part of our Corporate Health Management.
We can all take action for equality and breaking biases so that all colleagues feel respected, empowered and understood. Therefore, an important part of our Diversity & Inclusion efforts is to ensure that we never stop learning about it.
For this reason, we celebrate an annual Diversity Week in addition to ongoing learning experiences where we learn together and learn from each other in daily keynotes and varying Diversity & Inclusion-themed on-site activities.
For diversity in the working world
The ALDI SÜD Group signed the Charta der Vielfalt in October 2021. With this self-commitment and public declaration, we want to make clear that, we as a company, are committed to an appreciative and open-minded corporate culture. For this reason, we promote our vision: "Diversity strengthens us".
The Charta der Vielfalt is the largest initiative in Germany to cultivate diversity in companies and institutions. The aim is to create an inclusive environment free of bias and prejudice. Regardless of a person's personal characteristics – whether age, ethnic origin and nationality, sex and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and belief, sexual orientation, and social background. Every person should be met with the same appreciation.
