Our Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives

Lay the Foundation

Sysco is launching inclusive Leadership Training for our associates, in which we will identify best practices and incorporate diversity into our ground-level business operations. These trainings will raise awareness, facilitate communication, and foster an inclusive culture.

Establish Alignment

We partner with our operating companies to align our key business practices with the core values of diversity and inclusion.

Integrate and Reinforce

To reinforce diversity and inclusion as core values in our company, Sysco will integrate relevant communications in ongoing business processes, and enhance core aspects of our employee learning curriculum. 

At Sysco, we want every employee to have the peace of mind that comes from a comprehensive rewards package that offers a wide variety of benefits to help protect their health and financial security, as well as prepare them for retirement.

We offer numerous benefits to all eligible, full-time associates and their covered dependents (variations may exist for certain locations):

• Medical: Four different medical plan options, plus critical illness and hospital indemnity coverage options for employees and their dependents
• Telehealth service*: 24/7 access to a doctor via phone or video chat, for convenience
• Wellness Rewards Program*: Employees and covered spouses are financially rewarded when they get an annual physical or biometric screening
• Dental: Two different coverage options, including orthodontia
• Vision: Covers eye exams and annual allowance for contacts and/or glasses
• Security benefits: Including Life insurance, AD&D insurance (for employees and eligible family members) and Short- and Long-Term Disability to help protect your income should something happen to you that disrupts your ability to work.
• 401(k) Plan: Our plan includes an automatic company contribution every pay period, even if you aren’t contributing your own savings. Plus, the company will also match your contributions (up to a certain limit) each year.
• Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP): Our ESPP lets our employees become company stock owners, at a 15% discount.
• Other benefits: Scholarships for dependents, employee discounts, Identity Theft Protection and a Legal Services Plan, among many other available benefits.
• Time Off: We offer paid holidays as well as sick and vacation time based on how long you have been with the company

At Sysco and throughout our operating companies, providing a safe and productive work environment for our associates is a core value. We go beyond the basics to create a sustainable, better, safer workplace.

We place a high priority on addressing the root causes of workplace injuries, from revising the ergonomics of our truck cabs and loading ramps to encouraging safer behaviors such as proper lifting techniques and safe driving practices. Our employees receive safety training and guidance and are expected to follow appropriate work practices.

Sysco has committed to partner with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) through its Voluntary Protection Program, which recognizes businesses and worksites demonstrating excellence in occupational safety and health. Several of our OpCo’s have already achieved or are in the process of review for “STAR” designations from OSHA.
