Supporting the community
Supporting the community plays a big part in most of our lives, whether we are supporting schools, health services, charities or local action groups. Marks & Spencer has always had a good relationship with the wider community from where we draw our staff and our customers.
The Company supports its employees in lots of ways, including when they are on jury service or acting as a school governor or Justice of the Peace. For ex-service men or women and those who belong to the Armed Forces Volunteer Service we offer a week’s paid leave to go on annual training exercises, and for staff wishing to become candidates for any UK or European parliament or assembly, we offer a break of up to 5 years. We’re always happy to discuss individual requirements for other types of public duties such as local authority, prison or other custodial duties. We want to help staff play their part!
