What makes the Partnership different is our shared values as co-owners and our purpose to building a happier world.

Sharing her story, Meeta tells us what it means to be a Partner and how she has developed in her role.

Meeta’s Story

I started my career with the Partnership at the end of 2016 at the Heathrow branch. In 2018, I got the opportunity to take up a more challenging role with the new store opening in White City. I eagerly took this opportunity up as I was longing to work in a bigger, busier, full-line shop. I was in the department of Fabrics and Furnishings. Alongside this, I am also a practitioner of Heartfulness meditation.

As a result of my passion and interest in spirituality, I am currently a Wellness champion in my store and a committee member of the Faith & Belief community. I am currently organising meditation sessions for the Partners in my store and virtually for all others across the Partnership for a holistic approach to the wellbeing of the mind, body and soul.

In 2021/22 I was fortunate enough to be a part of the Diwali celebrations and be mentioned in the Gazette (our internal magazine publication), along with a recipe video with Daniel Blackburn.

I enjoyed showcasing to Partners how I celebrate Diwali, which was even featured on the website!

At the John Lewis Partnership, we want all of our Partners (employees) to find happier ways of working, like Meeta. Find out more about our purpose and the incredible benefits of being a Partner in the Partnership by exploring the rest of our careers website.
