Asda launches major restructure putting 5,000 jobs at risk – including 3,000 back office store workers

Asda has launched consultations with around 5,000 staff over a major restructuring which could put around 3,000 back office store workers at risk.

The supermarket giant said the major restructuring has been driven by the ‘structural shift’ towards online grocery shopping during the pandemic.

The grocery firm said it also plans to create around 4,500 jobs in its online operations this year and will look to hire staff affected by the restructuring.
