Kim Peters, an executive vice president at the Great Place to Work Institute, which produces the rankings, says that Whole Foods consistently stands out for several reasons: its willingness to let people's individuality
shine through, the
sense of teamwork it fosters, employees» belief in the company's mission and
purpose, and its propensity for developing workers through cross-training and other means.
Rather, I have begun more and more to experience for myself the «joy
of the Gospel» that Pope Francis calls us all to proclaim, and which
shone out in the lives
of the priests who inspired me as a young man: an extraordinary
sense of peace, happiness and
purpose which comes from encountering Jesus and handing your life over to him.»
