"Earlier this year, Amazon started folding Whole Foods' corporate staff into its own employee systems. Now, it's gearing up to do the same with thousands of frontline workers. The move is part of Project Cremini, an initiative designed to integrate Whole Foods' entire 100,000-plus corporate and frontline workforce into Amazon's core business structure by next year, according to internal documents reviewed by Business Insider."
"Once the shift is complete, every Whole Foods employee, across corporate and frontline roles, will use Amazon's internal systems for performance reviews, workplace tools, and pay, with checks coming straight from Amazon. The move marks Amazon's latest step to unify its grocery operations and reinvigorate growth at Whole Foods, which has remained largely independent since the $13.7 billion acquisition in 2017. Ongoing challenges in the grocery space have prompted repeated reorganizations and shifting priorities over the years, Business Insider previously reported."
Project Cremini will integrate Whole Foods' entire corporate and frontline workforce, totaling over 100,000 employees, into Amazon's core employee systems by next year. Every Whole Foods employee will use Amazon's internal platforms for performance reviews, workplace tools, and payroll, with paychecks issued by Amazon. The initiative aims to unify grocery operations and accelerate growth after the 2017 acquisition. Jason Buechel has advanced a One Grocery mindset and accelerated integration since his promotion to oversee Amazon's grocery business. Amazon's grocery business serves more than 150 million customers and offers nearly 3 million grocery and everyday items, with everyday essentials growing rapidly in early 2025.
