Job sharing at toom
Benno Frassetto is taking a step back a few years before retirement, while mentor Bilalli is planning to move forwards. And the two are currently walking together. Better: they are managing together. The toom Baumarkt DIY store in Butzbach. In job sharing. Two men. That makes them quite unique. In the film, they explain why job sharing is exactly the right model for them both.
Inclusion at toom
Mario Boy is hearing-impaired and has been working as a system merchandiser in the toom building block laboratory not far from the company headquarters in Cologne-Porz since 2019. He also wanted to get a taste of the market for a few days - as is customary for all toom centralisers. How did that work out? We spoke to him.
Chip magazine has recognised toom as the industry leader in the "digital service offering" in the DIY store and retail sector.
BUND pesticide test:
After 2021 and 2022, BUND has once again analysed bee-friendly plants in stores for pesticide residues. Of the seven garden centres and DIY stores examined, toom was the only one that did not detect any bee-harmful pesticides on plants advertised as bee-friendly. We spoke to Ribanna Jansen, Project Manager Sustainability at toom, about the "beneficial bee-friendly" range, the different needs of beneficial insects and quality control at toom.
Reconciling work and family life
Seven Business Areas and regions of REWE Group have once again been awarded the audit job and family certificate for their sustainable human resources policies. This shows that they are ready to implement measures to reconcile work, family and private life for another three years. We asked one Martin Czoske and Fiona Honig, representing REWE Nord-Logistik, what the certification means for employee satisfaction.
Honouring the next generation
On 18 October, the time had come for this year's toom graduates to celebrate after passing their exams - after a two-year break due to the pandemic, they were finally back in person and partying.
More sustainable transport
Since 25 July, users of the car-sharing and van-sharing provider Miles have been able to park for 60 minutes free of charge in Toom car parks at 15 locations. The pilot project will initially run until the end of 2022.
Interview with marketing directors
For the first time in several years, the market share of private labels in the food retail sector has increased again. We spoke to the heads of marketing at REWE, PENNY and Toom about the importance of private labels.
