People in Action

In 2022, we created 8,211 new internal jobs by adding 280 new stores. In total, we recruited almost 48,000 new (internal) employees, which means that they are on the Action payroll. At the end of the year, 60,052 employees were employed by Action. In addition, 19,703 individuals work for Action on a basis other than an employment contract. 

It is very common to have high employee turn-over in retail positions, as a large proportion of employees join Action for a short period of time and a limited number of hours per week. Usually, as a first job alongside school to gain work experience and useful skills for their further career, or as a way to combine their job with studying or taking care of their family.  

For our direct imports from Asia, we partner with the internationally renowned sourcing company Li & Fung. In addition to our own team on the ground, we work with a Li & Fung team of 105 people dedicated to Action. They help us to find exciting new products and to ensure that factories meet our requirements and policies.
