Wegmans, Publix named top places to work

Wegmans Food Markets and Publix Super Markets have landed once again on the 100 Best Companies to Work For list published by Fortune magazine in partnership with global people analytics and consulting firm Great Place to Work.

For the 22nd consecutive year, Publix has been named one of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For, ranking No. 12, up from No. 47 last year. Publix also ranked No. 1 on the inaugural list of Fortune’s Best Big Companies to Work For, featuring only seven companies with more than 100,000 employees.

“It is an honor to be recognized as a great place to work,” said Publix CEO Todd Jones. “Our associates contribute to Publix’s success every day, and I couldn’t be prouder of the legacy we’re continuing to build.”

Rochester, N.Y.-based Wegmans was No. 3 on the list, one rung down from its No. 2 showing last year, with 94 percent of employees surveyed saying that the company is a great place to work.

“There is nothing more important to us than being a great place to work for all,” said Colleen Wegman, president and CEO of Wegmans. “The values we share across our company, starting with caring and high standards, are the foundation, and our customers appreciate our people for demonstrating those values.  We are so grateful to our employees and continue to make the commitment that Every Day You Get Our Best.”

The list is based on survey feedback from more than 4.3 million employees, with respondents rating their workplace culture on more than elements, among them trust in managers, compensation, fairness, camaraderie and traits linked to innovation.
