There’s only ten days left to complete the 2025 Colleague Survey, which invites all frontline convenience colleagues to share their experiences working within the sector. Questions in the survey will cover travelling to work, employment contracts, flexible work opportunities, use of benefits, and more. The data collected goes towards our employment policy campaign work, as well as forming the ‘Our Colleague’ pages in the Local Shop Report.
The survey will take around 15 minutes to complete, and all answers are strictly anonymous and confidential, meaning they cannot be traced back to you or your employer. Upon completing the survey, participants will be entered into a prize draw with the chance to win one of 10 £100 One4All shopping vouchers.
We encourage all retailers to share this link with store-based employees so that we can reach as wide of an audience as possible and gain a full picture of what life is like working in the sector: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ACSColleague2025
There are several things we can do to support you in sharing this survey:
- We can set up a one-to-one call to talk through the survey and outputs
- All questions are optional, but if there are any questions you would not like to share we can build a separate survey with particular questions removed
- We can provide company-specific breakdowns of the responses, which give you great insight into your colleagues’ experiences (we are only able to provide these breakdowns if the sample size is large enough)
- We can aggregate any other employment data you collect and are happy to share, to build a better picture of working in the convenience sector (e.g. payroll data, pension uptake, benefits offered)

The survey closes on 28th February. For questions about the survey or wider ACS research, please email [email protected]
