Millennials recognize Publix as a Great Place to Work!
We’re proud to announce that we’re ranked among Fortune Magazine’s Best Workplaces for Millennials list – for the third consecutive year! Millennials gave Publix high marks as an employer on more than 50 different metrics defining great workplaces – such as managers’ competence, respect and fairness in the workplace, opportunities for meaningful work, and great colleagues. To determine the ranking, the Great Place to Work Institute™ surveyed 434,000 millennials at companies that have been certified as a Great Place to Work.
Millennials currently outnumber Baby Boomers in the workforce – both here at Publix and nationwide. And while our benefits are meant to appeal to people of all ages, here are some that may be of particular interest to Millennials: training and development, a promote from within philosophy, tuition reimbursement, and flexible scheduling. Plus, most of our associates are also company owners – so we have shared goals as we complete our daily work. And at Publix, we are committed to sustainable practices and giving back to our communities.
“Our associates are the heart of our company,” said CEO & President Todd Jones. “We work to create an environment where our associates enjoy coming to work for the opportunities they have and the relationships they form. At Publix, we provide resources for our associates to help them develop throughout their careers.”
The full results of the Fortune Best Workplaces for Millennials are available here.

This type of recognition is an honor – and so is working along side dedicated company-owners every day. All of us focused on making Publix the premier quality food retailer in the world.

Open minds, open doors at Publix
Publix founder George Jenkins knew from the start that at Publix, his associates would be treated with dignity and encouraged to speak up. He once said, “If you want people to respect you or your company, you must first show respect for them.”
Respecting the dignity of the individual means encouraging others to share their ideas and opinions, and helping them learn from their mistakes. And it’s an essential part of the Publix culture.
Diversity Manager Chris Lindo puts processes and programs in place to help make sure that happens. Although his focus is on bringing attention to groups with diverse backgrounds, his goal is for every associate to feel included and respected — regardless of ethnicity, gender, religious or political beliefs, or level of education.
Publix defines diversity as a combination of all the characteristics that make us uniquely individual as human beings. And according to Chris, our diverse backgrounds give Publix a competitive advantage. Take Chris himself, for example. He was born in Jamaica and came to the U.S. at the age of 13. He began his Publix career in 2001 as a part-time Grocery Clerk while working on his Bachelors and Master’s degrees. He joined HR in 2005 and served as an HR Investigator and then HR Legal Specialist while completing his PhD. Chris took the helm as Diversity Manager in 2013. “Through mentoring programs and internships, associates are bringing things to the table that help grow our business. We’re giving associates an avenue to express their thoughts and the opportunity to meet Publix leaders and learn more about how our company runs,” said Chris. “We want all associates to be happy, and this gives us a window into finding out what that means for more people. It’s the right thing to do, and as a company, we’re always willing to do the right thing.”
In Chris’s experience, people tend to naturally divide themselves into categories like culture or economic status. It’s his job to help bring the Publix family together. He believes through continuing to understand and respect the individual characteristics of one another, our associates will grow and our company will be stronger. After all, our differences only add to the reasons Publix is a great place to work!

2017 — That’s a wrap!
As we prepare to head into 2018, let’s take a moment to reflect on 2017 – and what a year it’s been for Publix Super Markets! We opened 44 new stores this year and hired more than 64,000 associates – most of them into our stores. Almost 3,000 new hires joined our support teams in Corporate, Distribution, Manufacturing, Industrial Maintenance, Pharmacy and IT.
We experienced significant growth in 2017 – adding Virginia to the list of states in which we operate. Our growth and promote from within philosophy led to the promotion of over 4,500 managers in our stores this year, and we expect continued internal opportunity next year.
The way Publix grows the careers of its associates gained special attention this year when we were recognized for two prestigious awards as employer of choice for women and diversity. Millennials, too, find Publix a Great Place to Work according to Fortune’s most recent ranking of that age bracket. We also ranked on USA Today’s list of “Companies with the Best Managers” and were included in Indeed’s “Top 5 Hottest Retail Companies for 2017.” We are honored and humbled by these recognitions. And we’re truly grateful to our associates as we drive towards continued excellent performance.
There is so much more to add to this year-end wrap-up. For instance, how we pulled together as a company to serve our communities in need before, during, and after this historic hurricane season. So you’ll have to come back to our blog in January for more on that.
At this time, we’ll leave you with one more fact about Publix in 2017. Of our company’s approximately 190,000 associates, more than 42,000 of them have 10 or more years of service with the company. If you do the math, that’s 22% – nearly a quarter of the company – that has been a member of the Publix family for a decade or longer. As a company owned by its associates, we think there is no better note on which to close out this year.
Are you attracted to the idea of working for a company that is like a big family? A company that treats you with fairness and respect? A company invested in you because you are invested in it? Visit our Publix Jobs Center to search for openings in our support areas. If you are a people person and like the fast pace of retail, learn more about our store careers here.
