“As a ‘People First’ company, we strive to be the employer of choice, providing careers for a better life by creating a work environment where everyone can do their best work. We deeply appreciate our 17,000 associates who cultivate our vibrant company culture and dedicate their time and talents to delivering the ingredients for a better life to the communities we serve,” said SpartanNash EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer Nicole Zube, who was recently recognized as a Silver Stevie Award winner in the Human Resources Executive of the Year category.
