Cumberland Farms To Participate In White House Summit On Worker Voice

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumberland Farms, a leading gasoline, coffee, and convenience retailer, today announced that Ari Haseotes, the company's President and Chief Executive Officer, has been selected by the Obama administration to represent the company at the upcoming White House Summit on Worker Voice. Haseotes will participate in a panel discussion entitled "High Road Employer Strategies: Win/Win Solutions" as part of the daylong event on Wednesday, October 7^th.

According to Cecilia Munoz, assistant to President Obama and director of the U.S. Domestic Policy Council, the administration was specifically seeking participation from "an employer who has taken great lengths to listen to their employees and learn what really matters to them." The panel will bring together private sector leaders who share the commitment to making their workplaces more fair, productive and prosperous.

"This special honor really reflects the work of the entire team at Cumberland Farms and their ongoing commitment to making our company a great place to work," said Haseotes. "We are so incredibly proud and honored that our efforts and our values are being recognized by the White House, and I'm looking forward to sharing our perspectives at Wednesday's event."

The White House invitation marks the latest in a string of high-profile recognitions for Cumberland Farms since Haseotes took the helm in 2008. Most prominently, the family-owned convenience store chain has been widely praised for its approach to healthcare, extending full-time health benefits to an additional 1,500 formerly part-time employees well ahead of the Affordable Care Act mandate. The company has likewise introduced a variety of progressive compensation models and communication platforms aimed at driving retention and employee satisfaction, which Haseotes will highlight in his panel discussion at the summit this week.
