GRAND
RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Food solutions company
SpartanNash (the "Company") (Nasdaq: SPTN) is proud to announce its
recognition as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity
2024 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group for its commitment
to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB). The Company
received the award based on quantitative data from an Associate
survey as well as other qualitative scoring methods.
"Creating an environment where every Associate belongs and feels
empowered to do their best work is a fundamental part of our
People First culture," said SpartanNash Senior Vice
President and Chief Human Resources Officer Nicole Zube. "Valuing differences is a core
competency we expect as we actively strive for inclusive behaviors
across our company, encouraging a sense of belonging."
Advancing DEIB at all levels of the Company is a key part of
SpartanNash's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals.
Over the past two years, SpartanNash has revitalized its Associate
Resource Groups (ARGs) sponsored by executive leadership, expanded
the internship program beyond 100 participants annually, and
launched new learning and development programs. Additionally, the
Company has expanded its Total Rewards offerings to appeal to a
broader base of Associates. By attracting and developing diverse
Associates representing different backgrounds, skills, experiences
and perspectives, the Company can better connect with and serve its
store guests and customers.
"Diversity is a widely discussed topic – and it remains a
crucial factor as people look for an employer or a business
partner. Newsweek and market-data research firm Plant-A Insights
are proud to introduce 'America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity
2024,' highlighting companies that are committed to offering a
diverse and inclusive work environment," said Newsweek's Global
Editor in Chief Nancy Cooper.
The scoring process for this award involved a thorough
examination of publicly available data, interviews with human
resource professionals, and an anonymous online survey in which
Associates shared insights into the Company's culture and work
environment.
