Operating in accordance with bureaucratic control, every Whole Foods Market store allots a portion of the budget to
employee development and evaluation. While a team member is employed at Whole Foods, he or she gains access to
the online “Whole Foods Market University”, which is an online information portal that provides information to
connect employees to the core values and further product knowledge (Whole Foods Market). When a new team
member is hired, they are assigned a mentor, a worker who has experience at the company. On the store floor, the
company looks for “team leaders” and opposed to “managers” (Whole Foods Market). Each member has the
opportunity to receive further training in various departments, operationalizing career incentives with the
bureaucratic control method. The bureaucratic control system institutionalizes the employee hierarchy implemented
in stores, regional offices and global headquarters.[118]
Every team member is provided medical, dental, vision and life insurance. Team members are eligible to participate
after 400 service hours to Whole Foods Market. As for retirement savings, all those over 18 are eligible to participate
in the “Growing Your Future” 401k savings program. All team members are given a 20% discount and allotted a
certain amount of paid time off. These benefits accumulate over time, motivating team members to remain with the
company (Dobbin). Whole Foods Market has created an internal labor market and corporate culture that motivates
its members to work hard, remain with the company, and develop their talents. While there is risk to incentive-based
programs and encouraged advancement, managerial autonomy and innovation lead to increased production.[119] By
establishing an overall culture and structure, management is able to control subsidiary companies and vendors
according to Whole Foods Market values.[118]
