Mr. George’s preparing for opportunity lesson is about preparing yourself for the future you want. And that’s just what these associates did! Managers captured the emotions of their associates as they learned the good news of their promotions. They had to be pretty clever to pull this off without giving away the surprise, so visit www.publix.org and see how they did.
As Mr. George once said, opportunities are up for grabs. See associates’ surprise and excitement upon learning they were promoted. Our Publix leaders continue to value, respect and reward the many talents of our associates. Watch these associates’ reactions in this month’s Publix News Live and see more snapshots by scrolling through the photos below.
