Grand Rapids, Michigan-based SpartanNash is hosting National Day of Hiring events Aug. 16 at participating retail grocery stores and distribution centers.
The National Day of Hiring events will offer candidates a chance to learn more about open SpartanNash roles, in addition to on-the-spot interviews and the potential for same-day job offers.
The company will also be unveiling details about a variety of new employee Total Rewards benefits launched this year, including comprehensive benefits effective within 30 days or less of a candidate’s hire date, competitive salaries and an expanded employee discount program at company-owned stores and fuel centers.
In addition, SpartanNash will highlight new education and training programs, offering any employee further career development opportunities at any level while getting paid.
“We’re not just offering jobs, we’re helping plan a future for talented people looking to develop new skills to advance a satisfying, rewarding and long-term career path,” said Mike Koppenol, VP, Total Rewards.
“As a people first company, our biggest investment is always in our employees – both current and future team members. They’re vital to our communities and our company’s success, so we’re pulling out all the stops to meet our new team members as we strive to be the employer of choice.”
As part of an overall drive to help employees grow in their careers, SpartanNash launched two new development programs. SpartanNash University is an experiential cohort learning environment for more than 100 top talent leaders as well as 200 aspiring leaders.
The SpartanNash Academy offers training programs for frontline retail and distribution teams, providing foundational leadership development for employees.
SpartanNash also offers on-demand courses through Workday, an online human capital management platform, which covers everything from finance to improving presentation skills. Last year, SpartanNash employees completed more than 100,000 hours of training through the system.
To support further learning and development, the company also recently rolled out the Enhanced Tuition Reimbursement Program. This new policy, which supports the continued educational endeavors of employees, offers tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 annually with expanded eligibility to all full-time and part-time benefits-eligible employees who work 30 or more hours per week.
