CINCINNATI, OH - Kroger is kicking 2018 into gear, announcing today that the company will begin actively recruiting experienced retail and digital and technology talent for new and open corporate and store management roles across its family of companies. This initiative is part of the retailer’s Restock Kroger program, which encompasses a $500 million investment in human capital over the next three years.
"With so many recent changes in the retail landscape, we recognize there are talented individuals in our communities who may be searching for a new career with a new company," said Tim Massa, Group Vice President of Human Resources and Labor Relations. "As we continue to grow and redefine the customer experience through Restock Kroger, there has never been a better time to join The Kroger Co."
As we’ve previously reported, the company expects its Restock Kroger plan to generate $400 million in incremental operating margin by 2020. The $500 million investment in its team members is also in addition to Kroger's continued efforts to rebalance store associate pay and benefits, while also focusing on certifications, performance incentives, advancement opportunities, and training for associates.
"We want retail and digital and tech talent to know that we're hiring," Massa added.
Kroger is currently comprised of 453,000 associates who serve across 2,793 retail food stores in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Those who are interested in joining the team can apply at jobs.kroger.com.
