Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) has once again earned a spot on
FORTUNE magazine’s annual “100 Best Companies to Work For” list.
Whole Foods Market has made the list for 18 consecutive years.
America’s Healthiest Grocery Store™ ranked No. 55 on this year’s
list, and is one of just 12 companies to make the list every year
since its inception in 1998. Of those 12 companies, Whole Foods
Market is noted as the top job creator, with a 784 percent increase
in number employees since the list began.
“This award is a credit to the tens of thousands of Whole Foods
Market team members that bring our brand to life every day in our
stores,” said Mark Ehrnstein, global vice president of Team Member
Services. “Our strong culture contributes to low turnover and high
morale, which helps create that great grocery shopping experience
unique to our business. We’re particularly proud that we’ve been
able to maintain our strong culture while our business continues to
grow, adding new stores and hundreds of team members every
month.”
FORTUNE cited Whole Foods Market’s mission-driven culture and
dedication to a higher purpose as a key differentiator, as well as
employee perks like store discounts and healthy lifestyle programs.
Whole Foods Market ranked fifth overall among retailers, seventh
among other companies headquartered in Texas and 17th overall for
diversity. It is the only company headquartered in Austin, Texas,
to make this year’s list.
