Wegmans and Christian Values

Wegmans consistently rates among the best supermarket chains in the US as well as one of the best places to work. A large part of this reputation can be attributed to the core values of the company as well as how they incorporate their values into the business. The Wegmans family has made a point to weave their Christian values throughout every aspect of their business and ensure that the core beliefs are deeply held. These values include highlighting “the dignity of the human person”, a value that remains at the forefront despite the growth of Wegmans. The company considers its employees to be their most valuable asset and this is reflected in their treatment of workers. Employees receive competitive pay and benefits, including health care, dental care, prescription plans and retirement options. Wegmans has also stated that in their hiring process they do not look for skill alone, rather they look for individuals whose values align with that of the company. The desire to serve others and treat everyone with dignity and respect are just two examples of values that many companies could benefit from adopting. The success of Wegmans as a company is simply a testament to the importance of Christian values and implementing them wherever possible.
