After working at KeHE for one year , employees can enter the ESOP program and begin earning stock in the company . This means they are helping to make KeHE great , and also investing in their futures . In fact , several KeHE employee-owners working in our DCs have an ESOP account valued at over $ 1 million .
But it ' s not just about the money . Being an owner of KeHE means that how well we do our jobs and help others to succeed directly impacts how KeHE and our stock perform .
We take our employees into consideration for everything we do . Whether that means participating in local community support events and serving trips with KeHE Cares © , creating special interest Belonging Groups , or deciding where to direct KeHE Cares funds , the whole person wellbeing of KeHE employees is always a priority .
KeHE is nearly 90 % employee-owned , which means we all have a stake in the company ' s success . When KeHE does well , we all do well .
