I appreciate coming together with leaders from other industries and sectors to discuss how we can collectively shape our shared future. This week at the Milken Institute Global Conference 2024, I was privileged to be able to participate in two panel discussions exploring the future of food retail and the workforce. Thank you to Maneet Ahuja for moderating a fantastic conversation about shaping tomorrow’s workforce with Debbie Dyson, Lisa Cohen Gevelber, Ravin Jesuthasan, and Igor Tulchinsky. I shared that Whole Foods Market is invested in our Team Members Growth and Happiness – in fact, it is one of our Core Values. We demonstrate this commitment with our apprenticeships, store leadership career development programs and Culture Champion Ambassadors. Appreciations to Holly Freishtat who moderated a panel about the future of food with Nancy Dalton, Leslie Sarasin, and Rodney McMullen. I shared my optimism about the work Whole Foods Market does to ensure the future of a healthy and sustainable food system. We have always been a leader in setting standards for ingredients, worker welfare, land stewardship and supporting the communities where our products are sourced. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of these discussions that directly connect with Whole Foods Market’s higher purpose. #TeamWFM #MIGlobal
Love it! Thank you all for helping to make this a priority. If you are ever in the state of Maine I would love to give you and drink from the only gravity fed bottled spring water company in the world! Capturing only the overflow that Mother Nature gives us. Whole Foods has been great and we look forward to having Holly Long come visit to see just how important saving the 200 year old spring is. Thank you!!
It's inspiring to see leaders across sectors come together to tackle such critical issues. Your commitment to employee growth and sustainable food systems sets a fantastic example. How do you find these cross-industry discussions impact your strategies at Whole Foods Market?
what is the app to report complaints at a particular store? is it Workaday or Innerview?
So glad I don’t work for this company anymore
Enjoyed the discussion we had on our panel Jason Buechel

1moWith all of the changes occurring, how do TM’s perceive the future of their growth and development? With the changes happening in prepared foods as well as other parishable positions.. will these be considered when it comes to furthering the bigger picture of job growth and opportunities?
