Asda to axe 1,360 management jobs

SUPERMARKET chain Asda is to cut 1,360 jobs as part of an overhaul of its store management structure.

THE move comes two months after the chain, which has 578 UK stores, warned that 4,100 roles were at risk because of a need to reduce the number of back office jobs in favour of more customer-facing roles.

"Every supermarket must adapt to the intense changes in UK retailing or they will get left behind," Asda chief executive Andy Clarke said.The new store structure will create 1,662 section managers and 4,000 section leaders but the redundancies will come from staff who do not meet the selection criteria or choose to leave.Asda said the new structure places a greater emphasis on e-commerce, puts more staff on the shop floor and removes back office administration tasks.Clarke said the restructuring was one of the most difficult decisions he has had to make as chief executive."Whilst I genuinely believe that it is the right decision for the future of Asda, knowing that it will result in valued colleagues leaving us is not easy."Rival UK supermarket Morrisons made a similar announcement last month when it said it would axe 2,600 jobs in order to remove layers of management.Originally published as Asda to axe 1,360 management jobs
