We believe in building workforce and supplier diversity. There is great value in the differences that make each individual unique. Embracing new ways of thinking and diverse management styles, as well as the experiences and abilities that come from bringing together people of different backgrounds, only serves to make Hershey a stronger company.
We have instituted a number of diversity councils and affinity groups to support the company's workforce. These councils provide an organized foundation for groups such as women, minorities, GLBT and young professionals.
Employee Work/Life
We actively work to enrich the lives of our employees and retirees. To foster greater physical health, we've instituted a wide array of wellness programs. We have a tiered medical plan that favors employees on the lower end of the wage scale. All full-time employees are enrolled in an incentive plan. New employees participating in our 401(k) plan also receive an annual 3% company-paid contribution whether or not they contribute. Adoption assistance is available. The Hershey Company offers benefits to domestic partners.
