Poste : Administration Manager

Valeur fondamentale : Get it Done with Passion and Integrity

Kathi came in for an interview in 1987 and basically hasn’t left. « They asked me to come back in an hour to start my first shift, » she laughs. Now, as the head of the Safety Committee, Kathi actively recruits staff members and encourages engagement. During a recent Occupational Health and Safety course, two employees told Kathi they would be interested in joining but they didn’t have a way to get to the course. Kathi didn’t want them to have to take a taxi so she drove them to the course and back on her day off. « They were both new to this so on the drive there I could tell them what to expect and make sure they were comfortable, » she says. Kathi was just doing what comes naturally to her so she was surprised and honoured to have been nominated as a Value Champion. « This is my proudest moment as a Sobeys employee, » she says. « The recognition makes me feel appreciated for what I do. »
