Tech might be evolving at an exciting pace, but our colleagues are never a miss. Thanks to regular sessions with major brands, our teams have an incredible level of product knowledge to share with customers. In Belfast, colleagues recently got the lowdown on the latest models with the help of brand reps. Learning opportunities like these are part of life at Currys – and this one was a great success! Just hear what our colleagues had to say: “Really interesting; loads of info I didn’t know before that I was actually able to use that day.” “It was good knowledge-wise, especially on the TVs with the Sony rep.” “The Google module was definitely worthwhile.” Find out more about our hands-on learning on our learning life page: https://bit.ly/3Y8oSqj
We are thrilled to announce that our amazing colleagues have won big at the Retail Week Awards 2023!

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

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
