Customer Service Desk: Associate Recognition
REWARDING THOSE WHO MAKE US GREAT
Our associates are the heart of Publix, and their hard work, dedication, and service deserve praise and recognition. We’re glad to provide these exceptional individuals a great place to work and make a difference, and we are proud to reward their efforts.
The George W. Jenkins Award
We annually give this award to a manager in each division, as well as a support manager, for their superior leadership. This is the most prestigious award our managers can receive.
The President’s Award
Given annually to a district manager in each division, as well as a support manager, this award recognizes their equal-opportunity achievements while maintaining a discrimination-free workplace.
Mr. George Community Service Award
We annually give this award to a retail associate in each division and one associate in support, who exemplify community involvement, personal integrity, and passionate volunteerism.
The Safety Award for Excellence
Given to one store in each division, as well as to a manufacturing facility and a distribution facility, this award is based on criteria including incident rates and adherence to best practices.
Safe Driver Awards
We award our truck drivers for safely going the distance every five and 12 years. Twelve-year drivers qualify for “Million Mile” awards.
Customer Service Excellence Award
This honor is given to one store in each division—and each associate in the winning store is honored for their dedication to our customers.
