James has just marked two incredible achievements: 25 years working at Morrisons and being named Employee of the Month! 🎉

But things were initially challenging. When James was struggling in his role, we stayed, we listened, and together with Morrisons, we made small changes that had a big impact.

Today, James is thriving. His confidence has grown, and he's making a real difference to customers every day.

Hear his story in his own words. 🎥
