Empowering Our Associates

For more than 40 years, our Associates have played an essential role in delivering great values to our Customers.

Associates are key to our business success and growth, and we are dedicated to maintaining an inclusive culture and workplace in which they also can thrive, both personally and professionally.

At the forefront of our commitment is a focus on welcoming and valuing a diversity of backgrounds, identities, and ideas. Creating an environment where all of our approximately 101,000 Associates and our Customers who shop with us are treated with dignity and respect is at the heart of everything we do.

We continue to invest in efforts to attract, retain, and develop diverse talent; enhance our policies and programs that support and safeguard our Associates; and offer opportunities for Associates to contribute to the communities where they live and work.
