We’re honored to be recognized for our great reputation

When Publix founder George Jenkins set out to openhis first store, he was determined to make it great by focusing on all his stakeholders – customers, associates, suppliers and the local community too. Through the years, Publix has maintained that emphasis, and in fact, it’s ingrained in our mission and guiding vision as a company.
Our mission at Publix is to be the premier quality food retailer in the world.
The word premier is what sets us apart and guides our every effort. And so, it is with great honor that we acknowledge being named 11th on the 2017 US RepTrak® 100: Most Reputable Companies list.
“RepTrak® is the gold standard for reputation measurement, providing a one-of-a-kind measurement of how the public views the world’s best-known companies,” Reputation Institute explained. In compiling the list, the organization examines more than 7,000 companies and bases the rankings in part on each company’s Pulse – “the emotional connection consumers have to a brand.” Other measurable components are used to produce the final rankings, including products/services, innovation, workplace, governance, citizenship, leadership and performance.
With a 2017 RepTrak Pulse of 81.60, Publix surpasses all other supermarket chains in this year’s rankings and counts itself among an elite group of companies!
Does the idea of working for a company that leads its industry, not only in performance but in reputation, appeal to you?

Publix is a Great Place to Work for Women!
It is one thing to embrace fairness and equality in the workplace. It is quite another to be nationally recognized for doing so. We’re humbled and honored to be named 39th among the 2017 Best Workplaces for Women by Fortune and Great Place to Work® Foundation.
The list was compiled by surveys of more than 400,000 U.S. employees from Great Place to Work companies based on several factors, including
- Women’s ratings of their organization — on leadership and other metrics
- Great workplaces for all women, including those from diverse groups
- Women in leadership roles in the employer’s workforce.
Now for some fine print about the organization and its surveys: “Great Place to Work® is the global authority on building, sustaining, and recognizing high-trust, high-performing workplace cultures.” The surveys were anonymous and participating companies needed to employ at least 50 women to be considered.

A sweet little fundraiser for United Way!
Sweet treats for a great cause and a couple of bucks!
Earlier this year, we expressed the warm and fuzzy feeling we Publix associates got because of the gratitude showered upon us in recognition of our efforts in supporting United Way.
Today, we get to pull back the curtain on one of the small ways we raise money to support of this incredible organization. It’s a closely held secret, and we’re trusting you, our readers to use discretion with it: It’s our annual Human Resources Cupcake War challenge.
You see, we have some great foodies on staff (we are, after all, a grocery chain!) and each year they voluntarily pitch in their time and effort to produce delicacies. This year’s incredible winning cupcakes were: Wedding, Cookies and Cream, and Peanut Butter and Ganache. Designed to make the mouth water and raise money for a great cause, we think this is one sweet fundraiser! And since it raised about $800 this year for the United Way, we think it’s a win-win!
Would you go all in and work for a company with a reputation for engaging employees in creative ways to benefit its local communities and drive lasting change? If so, consider joining Publix! We operate in seven states and employ more than 190,000. Visit this page to apply for employment in one of our stores.

Publix Interns Giving Back
Our Publix Summer Intern program is wrapping up soon, and before we conclude, we want to share news about a great and rewarding experience they enjoyed a few weeks ago. One hot July Saturday, fellow recruiter Katie and I got to take part in that experience as we worked alongside our interns at VISTE (Volunteers in Service to the Elderly) during a day of service.
For a little background, each year our interns take on a community service effort. In the past, they’ve lent a helping hand at Explorations V Children’s Museum in Lakeland and with the Special Olympics, for example. This year’s interns brought their energy and enthusiasm to VISTE’s East Magnolia Street facility in Lakeland where they participated in a number of projects. Talk about TEAMWORK! Weeding and mulching was a big task completed by one group of our interns with Katie. Her team cleaned up the parking lot perimeter and flower beds, and laid approximately 50 bags of mulch in only two hours. The following workday, she sheepishly owned up to discovering a few muscles she had not used in a few years. (Can you say ouch? I bet she wasn’t the only one!)
Since we were there on a Saturday –VISTE’s day for pickup and delivery by their community volunteers — another group of interns carted food and supplies from the organization’s freezers and refrigerators to volunteer’s vehicles for delivery to VISTE’s target population in the Lakeland and central Florida area. This group diligently worked for four hours on this effort.
We had two teams assisting with sprucing up VISTE’s warehouse, too. From cleaning freezers, refrigerators, and warehouse equipment to organizing and cleaning the facility’s kitchen that provides hot meals, these two teams dedicated a good three hours to the effort. What a big difference they made with all of their hard work!
A final group of interns was tasked with creating birthday cards that are sent out to VISTE constituents. Each card was uniquely created and provided a little bit of personality and sentiment. This group really put a lot of thought and detail into each and every card.
It was such a humbling and proud occasion, witnessing our interns working so hard and helping our community! On their first day as Publix interns, they were introduced to our founder, George Jenkins, and his legacy of giving back to the community. As I worked that day, and took in all of the “Publix Serves” tee-shirts worn by our interns, I was touched – and realized this day of service was a great way to see Mr. George’s legacy in action!

Millennials recognize Publix as a Great Place to Work!
We’ve done it again! Publix is ranked among Fortune Magazine’s Best Workplaces for Millennials list for the second consecutive year, and moved up from 74th to 17th place. To determine the ranking, the Great Place to Work Institute™ surveyed more than 398,000 U.S. employees from identified companies and analyzed how positively Millennials rated their organizations on over 50 different metrics defining great workplaces — such as managers’ competence, respect and fairness in the workplace, opportunities for meaningful work, and great colleagues.
This is great news for Publix since there are more than 75 million Millennials in America and Millennials now make up the largest generation in the workforce. Currently, more than 53 percent of Publix’s workforce is comprised of millennials.
“The main generational difference boils down to higher expectations for the level of personal fulfillment and connection they want from work. Employers that work to meet those demands by building a high-trust culture, with a special focus on Millennials in leadership roles, will get ahead in both the talent game and in the marketplace.” – Fortune Magazine
Millennials appreciate Publix’s investments in the community as well as their personal futures, citing the tuition reimbursement program as a popular perk to their employment. The full results of the Fortune 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials are available here.
