GRAND RAPIDS, MI - With work taking up much of our time, it’s important to find an employer who treats you right. Team members at Meijer are in luck, as the retailer has been named a Great Place to Work® for the sixth consecutive year.
"From the beginning, Hendrik and Gezina Meijer established a special culture that makes our company a great place to work," President and Chief Executive Officer Rick Keyes said. "This team member feedback is a testament we're living the legacy our founders envisioned."
The Great Place to Work certification recognizes employers for creating outstanding employee experiences based on responses to The Trust Index Survey™. This survey measures employee feedback across organizational culture, credibility, fairness, respect, camaraderie, and pride.
According to a press release, Meijer achieved its highest survey score this year, particularly excelling in three areas: strong commitment to diversity, equality, inclusion, and belonging; providing a physically safe place to work; and making team members feel welcome upon joining the Meijer team.
Meijer is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and continues to care for team members by treating them like family. An example of this is how Meijer team members are eligible to receive a variety of benefits, including weekly pay, team member discounts, and flexible scheduling.
"These are our highest scores to date on this survey, which is really meaningful," said Michelle Hall, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. "Our leaders are not only creating a positive environment for team members across the company to learn and grow, but they're doing it in a way that makes Meijer a Great Place to Work and also a great environment for our customers to shop."
The retailer also invests in the success of its team members, offering career advancement opportunities, free college education, paid parental leave, child care discounts, access to multiple health insurance plan options, and the option for 401(k) retirement contributions.
We applaud Meijer on this amazing achievement!
