The importance of a healthy work environment can never be overstated, especially in the high-stress world of retail. Publix works hard to support its associates for this very reason and its efforts have not gone unnoticed. The retailer was named on the 2024 Best Workplaces in Retail list by Fortune, ranking No. 5 of the 20 best large retail workplaces.
“Being named one of the best workplaces in the retail industry for the 11th year in a row is an honor,” said Maria Brous, Director of Communications. “At Publix, we make an effort to stay true to the philosophies our company was founded on 94 years ago—taking care of our associates and communities.”
According to a release, a few of the reasons associates attribute to the company’s success are its dedication to service, welcoming culture, support of its workers, and community outreach.
Not only is Publix supportive of its workers, but it is also supportive of minimizing its impact on the environment and ingraining sustainability into its company culture. Twice a year, the company partners with its customers and associates during its Good Together hunger register campaign, which gives fresh produce and nonperishable food items to Feeding America partner food banks and other food bank organizations.
Publix is also very committed to its associates’ well-being and continues to invest in their financial, physical, mental, and emotional health. As the largest employee-owned company in the United States, Publix offers its associates the opportunity to become company owners through its PROFIT Plan, 401(k) SMART Plan, and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
