Giving Voice to Our Associates

Challenge

Rich Products seeks to create a sense of connection and belonging across our associate community. We want every associate to feel empowered, grow in their career, and share their ideas, no matter who they are.

Actions

Over two decades ago, a small group of associates at Rich’s launched our first Associate Resource Group (ARG) with a simple goal: to make sure associates felt supported, valued and celebrated. Today, there are 14 ARGs in total — eight in the US, four in Brazil and two in Mexico — each open to anyone who wants to participate. 

These associate-led groups provide spaces for collaboration, growth, and allyship. They also offer leadership opportunities and partnerships to help us improve experiences for our associates, customers, and communities. 

Groups include: 

  • AccessAbilities 
  • EnRich Yourself (Wellbeing)  
  • Kaleidoscope (Associates of Color) 
  • LGBTQ+ 
  • OWN (“Our Women’s Network”) 
  • Parent-to-Parent  
  • StayRich (Early Career)  
  • Veterans  
  • Rich’s Mexico has two ARGs Mujeres (women) and Padres (parents). 
  • Rich’s Brazil has four ARGs to Kaleidoscope, Elas (women), LGBTQ+ and People with Disabilities.   
Outcomes

ARGs have become an empowering platform for associates to connect, grow, and share ideas. Open to all, they bring together people from various backgrounds to learn from each other and shape the future of our workplace. By supporting each other and providing valuable insights, these groups help ensure that everyone at Rich’s has the opportunity to thrive.
