John Lewis Partnership — which owns supermarkets, departments stores and provides banking services — announced on Wednesday that it would offer free food to all employees, including temporary staff and agency workers, during working hours for three months starting October.
Those working a four-hour shift will be eligible for one free meal, while those working eight hours can receive two, a company spokesperson told CNN Business.
Workers with access to staff cafeterias will be offered a range of options, including hot breakfasts, soups, curries, pasta dishes, and roast dinners on Sundays, the spokesperson said. The company’s truck drivers will receive pre-ordered packed lunches.
John Lewis is the largest employee-owned business in the United Kingdom, meaning that about 78,000 of its permanent staff are partners, receive a share of annual profits and have a say in how it is run.
