If we only knew what the future held for us, I think we’d all go through life with a different perspective. The great thing about working at Publix is that you can shape your future and the future of this company you own.

Whether it’s conversations with your manager about what job you’d like to have next or sharing an idea for improvement through Idea Spot, you play an active role, just like others have over our more than 90-year history. They had ideas and could see a vision in their minds about the future.

Still today, everything we do at Publix is developed with you or our customers in mind. From the benefits we offer to the communications we send out and from the products we create to the way we design store layouts, it’s all done with the vision to be a great place to work and shop.

But working toward a vision isn’t possible without each of you understanding how you contribute, bringing your whole self with you to work and finding your purpose. Regardless of your job, you each play a critical role in serving our customers, communities and each other, which is what makes the company you own a success.

Thanks for all you do.
