Asda are looking for an employee with essential employability skills for the job such as experience dealing with customers. Asda are looking for this skill because you will be dealing with customers constantly throughout the day and may have to deal with customer complaints and queries, it is also cost effective for the company if you already have experience rather than them spending money to put you into training which may not be the best thing for them this is because if they keep putting people into training and they don’t enjoy the job and leave or get fired then Asda will have wasted their money, where as if they find people that already have the experience of dealing with customers they can work straight away and Asda will not have to pay for their training which would save them time and money. Only those suitable for the job will get through to interviews. Asda need to ensure that their staff has a minimum C grade in maths and English at GCSE level.

Section 2, 2.1 being honest and trustworthy, this is a major positive in equality and diversity as it means care staff are able to make every individual trust them and not just try and earn the trust of certain people discriminating against others by not caring whether or not their patient trusts them or not. Being honest with your service users is vital and a very positive attribute to have.
