The 'Iki' supermarket chain is successfully expanding its workforce through a recommendation program, highlighting the value of employee referrals for building a cohesive and innovative company culture.
Nijolė Kvietkauskaitė, the CEO of 'IKI Lietuva,' emphasizes the success of the company's employee referral program, which has been instrumental in building a strong and innovative workforce. This program allows existing employees to recommend friends or family for job openings, indicating a positive organizational culture and employee satisfaction. The company has been awarded the prestigious 'Top Employer 2026 Lithuania' certification for the fourth consecutive year, underscoring its reputation as a desirable workplace.
According to Kvietkauskaitė, the essence of the referral program lies in its ability to foster a sense of community within the company. When employees feel proud and content with their organization, they are more likely to recommend it to others. This not only helps 'Iki' attract new talent but also reinforces its commitment to creating a supportive work environment, competitive salaries, and opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.
The initiative reflects a broader trend in the retail industry, where employee engagement and satisfaction are becoming crucial for success. By investing in its workforce and promoting a culture of teamwork and innovation, 'Iki' is positioning itself as a leader in the retail sector, ensuring its future competitiveness in the market.
