Whole Foods Values Their Employees
Whole Foods values their employees, and that appeals to me the most. I also like that they believe in training the employees, and want the employees to see themselves as equal partners in the company. Whole Foods also believes in promotion, the job I currently have has no room for me to be promoted. There are only two of us in the IT department at the local level. At times this situation really bothers me, I still have 20 more years to work. Just the thought of me doing the same job for the next 20 years is depressing to me. I believe that I would grow as an employee and a human being, if I were employed at Whole Foods.
After reading about the scandal, and employee reviews. Now I am not so sure, if I would want to work at Whole Foods. I believe
that the principle values are still there, whether they are at the forefront is anyone’s guess. I know that Whole Foods said that the pricing scandal was not happening at all Whole Foods. If you have core values that are universal to all employees, this incident should have been caught before it was presented by the media. In my opinion, there will be some employees that don’t function as well without constant supervision. Nevertheless, Whole Foods said it best. “Companies, governments, and institutions will be held accountable for their actions.” (“Mission-values/core-values/sustainability-and-our-future.”) That statement pertains to Whole Foods also.
