An Aldi worker who is transitioning has welcomed the discount supermarket's new gender transition guides. The discount chain said it wants to support colleagues who are either undergoing transition or have already transitioned.
The guides aim to support transgender colleagues at all stages, alongside providing guidance for their direct leaders and tips for co-workers on how to help their colleagues return to work, the supermarket said. They are are part of Aldi’s Embrace’ Diversity and Inclusion strategy, which aims to ensure Aldi is a respectful, supportive and representative place to work.
Kimberly Taylor, store assistant at Aldi who helped to create the guides, says: “I’ve worked at Aldi for over three years and during that time have started to transition. Throughout this experience my team have been so supportive of me, helping me to feel confident and accepted every step of the way.
