Publix is committed to its associates in so many ways like your career development and advancement opportunities. But our commitment goes beyond that.

We want to partner with you on your journey to be a healthier you. There aren’t too many things as important as your health, especially as we get older. I understand that more today than I did in my youth.

Each of us wants to retire one day, and when we do, we want to be in good health (and I’m not just talking about financial health). So today is the time to focus on good habits. If you start when you’re younger, it’s easier to stick with your good habits. I’ve lived it, so I know this is good advice. Bad habits can be hard to break, but not impossible, especially with the support of our family and friends.

That’s where your Publix family comes in. We care about our associates having a healthier tomorrow. That’s why we offer the Life. Inspired. associate wellness program for you and your family.

If you haven’t joined the free, new Life. Inspired. website, I encourage you to — I have and so have many of your co-workers. Once you register (see this month’s insert), you’ll receive communications encouraging you to participate in quizzes and quests, and share your experiences with each other socially. And, to top it off, it’s actually fun.

Publix cares about you, your health and your family’s health. Life is a journey and at Publix, you gain another family along the way. Let’s partner together and become a better us.
