Kroger's tech department makes Computerworld's Top 100 list
Kroger today announced on Monday that Kroger Technology has been named to Computerworld's Top 100 Best Places to Work in IT for 2018.
This marks the second time that Kroger's tech department has been recognized by the annual list for having an industry-leading workplace culture and mission. This year, Kroger ranks 58th among large companies.
"We are programming our company's future through Restock Kroger, and technology and digital are at the core of the journey," said Chris Hjelm, Kroger's executive vice president and chief information officer. "Kroger Technology associates are driving innovation and solutions to seamlessly blend online and offline shopping to redefine the grocery customer experience. It's an exciting time for us!"
Kroger Technology is working to transform the industry with technology innovations like its built-in-house EDGE shelf display. This digital signage integrates seamlessly into retail shopping environments. Earlier this year, EDGE received the Silver Apex Award at the Digital Signage Expo.
Hjelm was named one of Computerworld's Premier 100 Technology Leaders for 2016 and Brett Bonner, Kroger's vice president of research and development, received the award in 2017.
