Agenda• A Day in the Life…• Giant by the Numbers• Current Giant Benefits• Giant of the Future??• Conclusion

We would like to make note of the fact that we believe Giant needs to become an Employer of Choice for both

associates and salaried managers; however, the focus of our presentation is on the salaried manager positions.

trainees per year)• Average of 10 weeks per trainee• Average of $15,000 per trainee• Total cost is $2.2 million per year

• 10% turnover for salaried positions• $1,500,000 annual costs caused by turnover
