Asda has offered permanent positions to 2,000 of the 10,000 temporary workers it took on at the end of last year to cover the run-up to the festive period.
The supermarket said seasonal workers and students traditionally filled its Christmas temporary positions. But that a drive to recruit older workers has now seen that group - some 20,000 - represent 18% of its workforce.
Asda people director, David Smith, said: “Telling 2,000 people that their temporary job has just become permanent is a great way to start a New Year.”
