Publix Weekly Ad – October 03 to October 16 – Latest

The company was founded in 1930 in Winter Haven. Today the company has grown to be the largest employee-owned company in the world. It has more than 175000 employees across its 1100 stores spread across the United States. Even in the time of depression and layoffs, Publix has the distinction of not laying off even one of its employees.

What makes the company the most employee-friendly is the fact that they get company stocks upon your requirement. Upon completing a year with the company, an employee receives nearly 12% of their annual compensation in stock. The company’s stock is not publicly traded, and its dividend paid to its employees regularly according to their stock holding.

Technically the employees are not employees but associates, and this makes for the most loyal employee base possible. Even the present CEO has risen to the position from a bagger. They also offer their employees plans like tuition reimbursement, health, and insurance care, making them the most employee friendly company in the world.

This means not just their customers get all the benefits but their employees too. Publix is a supermarket chain which has grown from strength to strength due to its public friendly policies and its price placement of products. This will also ensure that they remain strong financially in years to come.
