For someone who loves food, designing better ways to bring fresh and delicious foods to my guests presents challenges that keep me learning and casting preconceptions aside.
IDDBA 2021 Champions of Change
Laura Berg
I am fortunate to work for a company that allows me to share my knowledge, talents and passion to help others reach their goals and full potential within their career path. There is nothing more satisfying than giving someone the tools, showing them how to use them, encouraging them, supporting them and watching them soar. A retailer’s success is my reward.
The most rewarding aspect of my job is finding ways to improve the work experience for our associates. I believe that improving the work experience for associates helps them to feel supported and valued, which in turn allows them to provide excellent customer service and deliver high-quality products. I also really enjoy mentoring small startup food companies in all their phases, from ideation to bringing the product to market and then growing their brand.
