'Extended family' | M&S launch alumni network for past & present staff

British retailer M&S has announced that it will be launching its first official alumni network to bring together the passion and support that exists within its global community of former colleagues.

'M&S Family', which will consist of colleagues past and present, will allow everyone who has worked for the business to stay part of the family and have a chance to continue their contribution to the organisation.

Members of the new platform will be kept up-to-date with the latest news from the employer, have access to live job opportunities, and also find out how they can get involved with new M&S initiatives.

In addition, M&S is also in the process of curating content for its alumni, as well as a series of exclusive events with the help of its M&S Family Founder Panel. The panel is made up of the leaders of existing smaller alumni groups on social media and some of the retailers’ longest serving store managers.
