Walmart Launches Bonuses and Trade Education for Hourly Workers
Walmart announced a bonus program for 700,000 U.S. hourly store workers, including those in pharmacy and Vision Center stores, offering up to $1,000 annually based on performance. This move aims to boost wages and reduce turnover amid a tight labor market. The announcement came before Walmart's annual general meeting, where shareholders voted on proposals including one for a compensation policy ensuring a living wage. Walmart also introduced a certification program to help workers transition to higher-paying technician roles.
