Weve spent the last few months of 2014 con-

ducting department meetings, to discuss the

results of last years Associate Surveys, and get
your feedback on ways to improve engagement,
store-wide. I want to thank everyone for their
participation and honesty throughout this pro-
cess! Hopefully you found these meetings as
valuable and productive as me and my co-
managers have. Any opportunity to exchange
ideas and concerns can only help make us better
as a team. You all had some great suggestions
and legitimate concerns, which I am proud to
have been able to addressand will continue to
address in the future. One of the areas we
struggled with overall, was communication. As a
result of your feedback, we added this newslet-
ter (which is printed monthly, posted on the
main communication board outside the man-
agers office, distributed in the break room, and
is available on-line at the new HUB). Addition-
ally, Im pleased to announce that, as a direct
result of your suggestions, we were able to get
extra equipment for several departments,
change some procedures, fix some housekeep-
ing issues, and answer a lot of your questions
pertaining to everything from hours and dress
code, to rewards & recognition. There are even
more exciting changes on the horizon, based on
your ideas and, I look forward to contin-
uing to improve our store together. This
month you will be asked, once again, to
participate in a formal on-line survey.
Hopefully you have seen our commitment
to improving various issues in the store, as
well as following through on your sugges-
tions. We value your feedback & thank you
for contributing to ShopRites continued
success & longevity!
