Owners not employees
#91 in the Green Goldfish Project – Publix
Taken from a testimonial by Barbie, a corporate receptionist on Publix.com
Publix is an extraordinary company to work for. I’ve been here 36 years, my husband has been with Publix for 38 years, and my children have worked here as well. We love it because the people are warm and friendly, like our extended family; and because we own a part of the company. Mr. George, our founder, cared enough about associates to make all of us part owners.
Today’s Lagniappe (a little something extra thrown in for good measure) – Here’s a YouTube video on the culture at Publix:
The Green Goldfish Project is a quest to find 1,001 examples of marketing lagniappe for employees. Green goldfish are the little signature extras given to employees. They help differentiate a company, increase employee retention and drive positive WoM.
