Your First Day!

Your Welcome Event is held at the Head Office in Naxxar. The underground car park is reserved for staff, so you may park there. If no spaces are available, you may park in front of the car park entrance or on the downhill slope leading to Head Office. We ask you to park within the lines and to ensure that you do not park in the trailer area

The Welcome Event starts at 9.00am.  Please allow extra time for travel in case of traffic, to ensure you are punctual on your first day. The event typically concludes around 4 or 5 pm. A typical day at the Office starts around 8.30 am, while shifts at the Store and the Warehouse may vary according to your roster.Remember that Lidl pays by the minute!

For breaks, all employees can use the Welfare Room which has a fridge and microwave, for a moment of complete relaxation. Please remember that where the working day is longer than 6 hours, you are to take no less than 15 minutes uninterrupted break time. 

As you now represent Lidl Malta, while we don't enforce strict formal wear at Head Office, a 'smart casual' approach is always appreciated. At Head Office, dress appropriately for meetings with external clients and work events. While jeans might be acceptable on some days, they're best avoided when meeting key stakeholders.Conversely, staff at the Stores and Logistics Centre wear a uniform, which represents both you and the company. Please keep it clean and tidy; torn uniforms are unacceptable and create a poor impression, particularly when dealing with customers.

Your direct superior has immediate and direct responsibility for managing the work team you now form part of. Their duties include supervising daily activities, assigning tasks, monitoring performance, and supporting the team. They will be your main point of contact for technical questions, work plans, and much more.

Your Trainer is responsible for delivering your training, acting as your primary point of reference.They will set clear developmental objectives, schedule your training plan while accommodating potential adjustments, and provide all necessary information and guidance to ensure you can perform your tasks effectively. They will show you all the practical aspects of your work.

The mentor is a person selected by the relevant manager. This team member will be available throughout your training period, and beyond if necessary, to assist with your integration into the company. While not responsible for formal training, they will explain the company structure and its 'unwritten rules', serving as a key point of contact and a trusted source of support for new recruits.

The Personal & Social Manager (P&S) serves as the primary point of contact for employees and management regarding workplace relationships and personal issues that may impact professional performance.They are responsible for ensuring that employment relationships are managed in accordance with Lidl's leadership values, fostering a positive work environment, and taking proactive steps to maintain it.
