Team – I value communication and want to make sure you’re always able to hear directly from your leaders, including me. You’ll hear us talk about different aspects of the business that come together to form Walmart. I’ll also share the thinking behind some of the decisions we make, why we operate like we do, and your role in all of it. – John Furner, Walmart U.S. President & CEO

Walmart is a community of diverse individuals, each with their unique stories. Some joined us after pursuing other careers, some started with us and then moved onto something else. Then there are people like Anjie Robertson and myself who started with Walmart and saw it turn into a rewarding career. I met Anjie a couple months ago at our Manager Academy, where she shared she couldn’t attend the Associates Week she was invited to 15 years ago, because of being promoted. Anjie politely asked if she could come this year, to one of the biggest and best family reunions and celebrations in the world!<br />
Anjie joined me for this episode of The Huddle, just after joining me on stage at our U.S. Associates meeting! We talked about her 30-year career with Walmart, how her experiences have shaped her people-centered approach to management, the importance of meeting people where they are, and what it truly means to go &quot;all in.” We also talked about the memorable moment where Anjie recommended we begin an annual bonus program for our store associates. (Spoiler alert: we listen!)<br />
Anjie is an incredible associate with a magnetic personality, and her story shows what&#039;s possible when you take risks, believe in yourself, and go &quot;all in&quot; on your goals. I&#039;m proud of Anjie for asking to come to Associates Week this year and I&#039;m excited for you to hear her story in this episode. You won&#039;t want to miss it!
