“I used to play doctor or nurse at home as a child. That was something I longed for,” says Miroslava Rychtárechová. While her career didn’t lead to medicine, her desire to help people remained unchanged. Today, she fulfils her childhood dream as Head of People Manager at Tesco Slovakia, one of the country’s largest retail chains, where she promotes inclusion and empowers people with disabilities, special needs or Roma backgrounds to lead full working lives.
Rychtárechová’s career at Tesco began while she was still a student at the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. “Back at university, I worked at Tesco as a stock replenisher and spent about two and a half years there as a part-time student,” she recalls. At the time, part-time jobs were scarce, and students were grateful for any opportunity.
