LONDON: Britain's largest supermarket Tesco on Monday said it will create 16,000 new permanent jobs to support the exceptional growth in its online business and may even increase the number of roles as the coronavirus lockdown boosted its sales.
"The supermarket expects the majority of these roles to be filled by colleagues who joined on a temporary basis at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but who now want to stay with the business permanently," the company said. The new permanent positions are in addition to around 4,000 full-time jobs created by Tesco during the pandemic.About 47,000 temporary staff joined Tesco at the peak of the coronavirus, most of whom have reached the end of their contracts. Before the pandemic, online sales at Tesco accounted for about 9 per cent of total revenue.
