Lidl International

"When you have a goal and you communicate it clearly, the right doors tend to open." Bence Nárai, Sales Business Partner at Lidl International, has been part of #teamlidl since 2022. After his professional basketball career, he spent three and a half years as a District Manager at Lidl Magyarország. He joined the Job Rotation Program in 2025 and now bridges Lidl International and local markets as a Sales Business Partner. ❤️💙💛 His first months were packed with language classes, leveling up his German to C1, but also making friends with other expats. "Meeting people with that same adventurous spirit helped build a great support network." As a huge sports fanatic, Germany has been a dream: From Bayern Munich matches and watching the football World Cup with the Job Rotation crew, to a trip to Berlin with Hungarian friends for the Women's Basketball World Championship. To top it off, they even headed to Stuttgart in November with Lidl colleagues for the opening game of the Handball World Cup. His advice for anyone considering the program? "The support system and structure are there. If you get the opportunity, go for it! The growth is worth the effort." What would motivate you to take the leap? 👇 #LidlInternational #LidlExpats #LidlMagyarország #teamlidl

What happens when #teamlidl meets the grand finale of world-class pro cycling in Paris? 🚴 Many people think international team building happens in corporate conference rooms. We decided to take it to the streets of Paris instead. Recently, 30 contest-winning colleagues from our stores, warehouses, and headquarters across Lidl in Germany, Lidl France, Lidl Polska and Lidl Belgium & Luxemburg came together for a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. Standing at the final stage of one of this year’s biggest sports event in cycling, our team experienced an exclusive look into high performance and teamwork: 🍌 Energy for success: Lidl-Trek nutritionist Stephanie Scheirlynck showed how targeted nutrition powers peak energy on the bike and at work. 🏁 Inspiring mindsets: An autograph session with Lidl-Trek Ambassador Aleix Espargaró highlighted the passion needed to achieve big goals. 🤝 Moments of belonging: While cheering together at the finish line, Lidl-Trek showed us how performance, trust, and belonging drive strong team results.   When colleagues support each other across every level, our entire team wins. 💡 A big thank you to everyone who helped make this unforgettable weekend possible. What is one unforgettable experience that brought you closer to your colleagues? #LidlInternational #LidlTrek #EmployerBranding #Teamwork #teamlidl

Everyone talks about what a job rotation does for your career. Today is dedicated to the people it brings into your life. Arti Odedra from Lidl GB and Bianca Glăvan from Lidl România first crossed paths during onboarding week of the International Job Rotation Program. Finding out they're both on the Employer Branding team at Lidl International was the cherry on top. ❤️💙💛 Before they had even packed their bags, both started planning their lives together in Heilbronn. Over time, their friendship grew: "We learned the true meaning of patience, balance, and unconditional support through each other. With a sprinkle of fun and lots of laughs," they share. Now, everyone just refers to them as "work wives". Food became their love language, and navigating a new country became a beautiful journey of cultural exchange. By introducing each other to their native traditions, mastering the local lifestyle, and supporting one another through every challenge, they didn't just learn about different cultures, they built a real home away from home. While both still work on their German skills, they also became experts in local bread, cheese, wine, and beer culture. 🇩🇪 Working abroad has always been one of Artis' life goals: "Thanks to the incredible support at Lidl, I've been able to achieve this goal while driving projects that deliver a truly tangible impact." Bianca brings the perfect energy to match: "I'm a joyful, authentic and humorous person. Whether it's building new friendships or exploring new business areas, my goal is to keep growing and to bring my true self to everything I do." On this International Day of Friendship, their message is simple: "You never know who you will meet. A complete stranger might just become someone you call family."

It takes courage to leave your home country and start over somewhere completely new. Katerina didn't just do it once, but twice. ✈️ After a six-month expert assignment in Latvia showed her what international programs are truly worth, the Controlling Manager at Lidl Česká republika knew she wanted more. When the chance for a Job Rotation came up, it was a no-brainer. This time, she had a choice: Lidl Germany or Lidl Österreich. Having visited Austria for years, she had long been drawn to its mountains and way of life. As it turned out, the feeling was mutual: the local team was in urgent need of someone with her exact controlling expertise. A win-win from the start. ❤️💙💛 Now based in the Salzburg area, Kateřina Rysová is building a complete 360-degree view of the Austrian controlling landscape while working toward another personal milestone: mastering German. Her team has a playful rule: no shortcuts. When she speaks English, they grin and push back: "We didn't understand you! Say it in German!" 🇦🇹 Find out more about her experience in the carousel. 👇 Which country would you pick? #LidlInternational #LidlExpats #LidlCzechRepublic #teamlidl

"Gaining a new perspective makes you grow as a person, but it also helps you become even better at your job." Xenia Wagner, Project Manager at Lidl France, has been part of #teamlidl since 2022. Originally from Germany, she built four years of experience in SAP HR authorization management at Lidl International before joining the Job Rotation Program in Strasbourg. 🇫🇷 Now, Xenia coordinates the transition of an operative planning tool from sales directly into HR. Just 200km away from home, she expected the Alsace region to feel familiar, but was surprised by how cultures do change when you cross a border. "The Culture Coach provided the perfect insights, helping me navigate the new culture and truly understand the team's dynamics," she remembers. She was nervous about working entirely in French, but quickly realized: "You understand far more than you think. My colleagues were also very welcoming and the atmosphere felt very personal and homey from day one." Additionally, exploring hidden gems in Strasbourg on her own has boosted her confidence in ways she never expected. ❤️💙💛 What's your main motivation when considering a job rotation program? 👇 #LidlInternational #LidlExpats #LidlFrance #teamlidl

Groundbreaking Things are Happening in Southern Germany 🏗️ At Lidl, protecting the climate and conserving resources are part of how we build across more than 30 countries. The latest example of our commitment? Lidl in Deutschland breaking ground on the construction of a hybrid timber metropolitan store in Rheinfelden. The store will not only become the largest in Germany by floor space, it's also the first of its kind, combining many forward-looking features: ♻️ Detachable timber connections with Cradle-to-Cradle design allow the best possible recyclability of building materials ☀️ 325 kWp photovoltaic system, natural refrigerant heat pumps, and 100% green electricity supply 🔌 EV fast-charging infrastructure with two charging points 🌍 Combination of reinforced concrete and timber is designed to meet the structural safety standards for the local Earthquake Zone 3 🔄 Materials from the existing building are recovered and reused in the sub-base of the new road surfaces "This project already serves as a reference for innovative hybrid timber construction and intelligent space densification in urban areas. It shows how high ecological standards, modern technology, and shopping comfort can be combined in a future-oriented way," says Jan Brenn, Chief Real Estate Officer at Lidl in Deutschland. Planned opening? Spring 2027. Until then, we're excited to see every building block fall into place! ❤️💙💛 What's the most important feature supermarkets of tomorrow should have? 👇 #LidlInternational #LidlinDeutschland #TimberConstruction #teamlidl

"Every country has its own rules of the game, and the only way to truly understand them is to play by them yourself." Hendrik Diezinger, Sales Operations Manager at Lidl Ireland, has been part of #teamlidl since 2020. After five years in sales management at Lidl in Deutschland, he joined the Lidl International Job Rotation Program in Ireland. 🇮🇪 Going abroad had always been a dream of his: "I wanted to experience new ways of working and grow personally on an international level." The final push came from an Irish colleague on rotation in Germany: "The people are great, the nature is incredible, and the beer is even better." Needless to say, Hendrik was convinced! The biggest difference from his job back home is the distances. Stores can be 45 minutes apart in Ireland, making in-person contact harder. But the team's open, trusting spirit bridges every gap: "Having a work buddy by my side, who I can trust and who truly knows the local way, made my start here so much easier." Between cliff walks in Howth, St. Patrick's Day and a trip to the Giant's Causeway, Ireland has delivered everything his colleague promised. ❤️💙💛 Have you ever been inspired to take a leap by someone else's experience? 👇 #LidlInternational #LidlExpats #LidlIreland #teamlidl

Hero Pups Help Families Make More Conscious Shopping Decisions 🐾🥕 Together with PAW Patrol®, we are making healthy eating easier for families - with products that children love and choices that support parents in their everyday lives. From July 2026, Lidl is launching an international campaign as part of our strategy for healthy eating. To coincide with the release of PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, the PAW Patrol pups are featured on select items from our own brand food products – all of which meet the WHO nutritional criteria and Lidl's additional criteria. Ten types of fruits and vegetables are also included in the initiative. In addition, we have made a permanent commitment: in future, we will only sell our own branded food products with children's packaging if they meet these criteria. ❤️💙💛 Stefan Haensel, Head of Quality & Sustainability, Senior Vice President Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, says: "We know how important our role as a grocery retailer is in families' daily lives. We understand the challenges involved in preparing healthy meals for children. That's exactly why we want to make things easier for families. With the PAW Patrol campaign, we're using fun, playful ways to inspire children to eat healthier and offering products parents can trust. We follow a clear principle: Our own-brand products aimed at children only make it onto the shelves if they meet the strict criteria set by the WHO as well as our own additional Lidl criteria. That’s how we make healthy eating simple." This commitment is anchored in our international CSR strategy and is based on the Planetary Health Diet, making it a little easier for families to make better choices every day.
