Hy-Vee has garnered three national honors recognizing its strong workplace culture and support for veterans and working families.
The Iowa-based grocery retailer received the Great Place To Work Certification and the 2025 Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Patriot Employer Special Recognition Award for Excellence in Community Support and has been named a Best Place for Working Parents.
The Great Place To Work Certification is given to organizations with exceptional workplace culture. Selection is based on anonymous feedback independently collected from employees by Great Place To Work.
The survey results showed that Hy-Vee employees view the company as a trustworthy, people-first workplace where they feel valued, supported and empowered to grow their careers.
The 2025 DAV Patriot Employer Special Recognition Award for Excellence in Community Support highlights Hy-Vee’s dedication to hiring veterans and its support of them through initiatives such as the annual Veterans Day Breakfasts and the Hy-Vee Homefront program.
Hy-Vee employs more than 1,500 veterans. Of the 35 companies that received the DAV Patriot Employer Award, it is one of just eight to receive the additional Special Recognition designation.
For the fourth consecutive year, Hy-Vee also has been named a Best Place for Working Parents, recognizing the company’s family-friendly benefits designed to help employees with work-life balance, including childcare discounts, tuition assistance and weekly grocery discounts.
“Our people are our greatest strength,” said Jeremy Gosch, chairman and CEO of Hy-Vee.
“For 95 years, Hy-Vee’s legacy has been defined by our dedication to our core values and a culture where employees feel empowered and connected to our mission. Every day, they help make lives easier, healthier and happier for our customers and communities, and these awards demonstrate that commitment.”
Hy-Vee offers employees competitive pay, career development opportunities, a 401(k) plan with a matching contribution, free meals for those who work weekends and health coverage.
