How we’re shaping our workplace
At the heart of our operations lies a deep commitment to our employees. This is evident in our approach to employee development, safety, and well-being:
1. Career Development: Our Career Choice skills training programme pre-pays funding for nationally-recognised courses of up to £8,000 over four years to support current and future job needs for thousands of employees. We marked its 10th anniversary in Europe in 2024 adding more than 25 new programmes ranging from mechatronics to machine learning, and this initiative resulted in us ranking in the top 50 of the Social Mobility Employer Index 2024. Additionally, we've pledged to provide free AI skills training to two million people globally by 2025, preparing our workforce for the AI-driven future. We are also proud to offer supported employment routes, creating equitable employment opportunities, and in the UK we are a Level 3 Disability Confident ‘Leader’, the highest level.
2. Technological Innovation: Amazon has invested more than €700 million since 2019 in robotics and AI powered technologies that are shaping the future of work across our European fulfilment centre network. These technologies support employees in their roles, providing them with a safer working environment and upskilling opportunities while reducing packaging materials.
3. Job Creation: As we have innovated to enrich the lives of our customers, we have created hundreds of different job roles in our teams across Europe. Whether in our corporate headquarters, research and development centres, fashion studios or fulfilment centres, Amazon offers all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people.
