Whole Foods looks for associates who possess certain personality traits that are compatible with their culture and core values: positive attitude, commitment to excellence, integrity, excellent communication skills, loyalty, enthusiasm for learning, teamwork orientation and willingness to help others. Oftentimes these traits are not easily taught but come through experience and self-directed growth or development on behalf of the candidate. Training is often used as an avenue to acquire these soft skills which require more practice than just traditional teaching methods. Moreover, because many of these traits serve as guides in day-to-day operations—for instance how one interacts with customers—it’s essential that team members get ongoing education about what it means be part of a successful Whole Foods team so they can live up to expectations every day.
