Walmart is expanding its education benefits for 1.4 million U.S. associates by SallyPancakes
Walmart , the largest private employer in the U.S., is offering its 1.4 million associates an updated suite of education benefits.
"This transformation that retail is going through and how technology is entering, we need to upskill and train associates to take on customers ebbing and flowing what they are looking for from a retailer," Drew Holler, the SVP of Associate Experience, told Yahoo Finance."So, we have to adjust the skillsets to meet those demands. As we teach and associates learn they are better able to take care of customers.
"We wanted to remove that financial burden for them," Holler said."We felt like giving the associates a $1 a day was something they could reach to — it wasn't within reach. It did give them that skin in the game to allow them to follow through."
