Keurig Dr Pepper Frequently Asked Questions

Updated June 7, 2018

For Dr Pepper Snapple Employees

Do Dr Pepper Snapple or Keurig have an employee store, health wellness, or daycare facility for employees? Is it likely as a result of the merger?

DPS and Keurig both have online stores where employees can purchase branded merchandise, and we expect these will be consolidated, updated and improved over time as a result of the merger. At this time we do not have any daycare facilities on site, but our Employee Assistance Programs can help employees find available resources. Both companies have extensive employee wellness programs, and through the integration process, we will work to design benefit programs that support employees’ health and wellness efforts.

How do you plan to ensure field operations have a consistent culture with the corporate offices?

We have a dedicated integration team focused on building a “ONE TEAM” culture, with a plan to ensure our KDP culture reaches and inspires all locations and employees.

How do you plan to ensure new branding will make it to field operations?

We expect that operations where Dr Pepper Snapple Group branding exists currently to be updated over time to reflect the new corporate branding of Keurig Dr Pepper. We will take inventory of our locations and types of signs needing replacement, which will take some time and require some capital planning.

For the hundreds of employees that do not have a DPS phone or access to the KDP Merger App, how will we know when new information is posted on SplashNet?

We provide managers and supervisors with detailed information via manager toolkits, as well as via News Splash, the KDP merger page on SplashNet and direct email updates. Managers are accountable to share information with members of their team without access to our digital channels, whether it relates to the merger or any other topic of importance to the business and our employees.

I heard that we do not need to complete the health screening this year due to the merger. Is that true?

No. As in years past, you must complete your screening by Aug. 31 — and return any necessary forms — to avoid paying more for your 2019 medical coverage.
