GRAND
RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Food solutions company SpartanNash (the
"Company") (Nasdaq: SPTN) today announced the expansion of its
award-winning Total Rewards program, directly addressing the
growing challenges faced by working families in accessing
childcare. The new benefits provide care options for children,
adult dependents and elderly family members – while lessening
financial stress.
"Working parents are increasingly challenged with access and
affordability when seeking child and elder care. As a mom of three
myself, I know firsthand the thought and investment that goes into
these decisions. I'm incredibly proud to work at SpartanNash, where
we provide meaningful benefits that support Associates at a variety
of ages and life stages," said SpartanNash SVP and Chief
Communications Officer Adrienne
Chance.
Depending on eligibility1, SpartanNash's benefits can
save Associates approximately $6,000
annually2. Daycare benefits include:
- 25% off tuition for ages 0-12 at childcare centers in
The Learning Care Group (including AppleTree & Gilden Woods,
Childtime, Tutor Time and 1,100 schools nationwide). The tuition
discount also applies to before/after school care and camps offered
by The Learning Care Group.
- Priority enrollment and waived enrollment and registration
fees for children new to childcare centers in The Learning Care
Group.
- Three days of backup care when regular care plans for
children fall through due to snow days, sick days or holidays, also
managed exclusively by The Learning Care Group.
- Company match of up to $500 for those enrolled in a Dependent Care
Flexible Spending Account.
In addition to the new benefits outlined above, SpartanNash
already offers a variety of top-tier benefits designed to support
families, such as Paid Parental Leave, family planning benefits
such as adoption assistance, and work-life resources, including
free counseling sessions and information on every stage of life –
from feeding your newborn or toddler to sending your children off
to college.
"We are proud to partner with SpartanNash in providing a
customized childcare solution," said Sean
Sondreal, Chief Business Development Officer at Learning
Care Group. "Through subsidizing tuition and offering
back-up/emergency childcare, SpartanNash has shown a commitment to
ensuring their employees have access to affordable, high-quality
care."
Furthermore, SpartanNash Associates can enrich their lives with
a number of additional benefits, including store discounts, tuition
reimbursement, perks and Associate-exclusive savings, flexible
scheduling and paid time off. Associates can also participate in
401(k) with up to a 4% employer match, stock purchase discounts,
medical and dental plans, and health and wellbeing programs.
"At SpartanNash, our approach to benefits focuses on ensuring we
promote our People First culture by offering benefits that
provide choice and flexibility and advancing Associate wellbeing.
We support all parts of the wellbeing journey, including emotional,
physical, financial, work life and social needs for our people and
their families," said EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer
Nicole Zube. "We are excited to add
daycare benefits to our Total Rewards offering, allowing current
and future Associates to tailor the benefits to meet their family's
needs."
In 2024, SpartanNash was named to Newsweek's America's
Greatest Workplaces for Parents & Families. Newsweek and
Plant-A Insights Group recognized the America's Greatest Workplaces
for Parents & Families in the United
States by conducting a large-scale employer study based on
over 693,000 company reviews.
"As more parents juggle raising a family with their work
obligations, they want employers who offer flexibility and are
supportive of work-life balance," said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor-in-Chief of
Newsweek.
