Walmart Global Tech India’s Post

Doug McMillon's 10 year tenure as CEO of Walmart Inc, has grown the company from 476B in 2014, to 648B in 2024, over 36%, and with an increase of 172B. Which is more than the global sales of companies like BMW, for example. While the above summarizes WHAT he has done, it is equally important to mention HOW he has done it. A gifted people person, he leads with the company purpose and values engraved in his actions. #HumanExperience #CustomerExperience #EmployeeExperience

#Walmart, America's retail titan, transcends the ordinary with its colossal scale that is hard to overstate. The sheer magnitude of its physical footprint in U.S. stores, equivalent to an astounding 12,500 football fields, redefines the dimensions of retail space. Yet, Walmart's grandeur extends beyond its sales prowess, boasting the title of the largest private employer with approximately 1.6 million associates in the U.S. alone. To put this in perspective, it surpasses the population of Hawaii, earning Walmart the rank of the 41st most-populous state. Being part of the Walmart workforce is not just a job; it's contributing to a community that rivals the size of an entire state's population. Walmart stands as a testament to innovation, commerce, and community converging on an unprecedented scale, leaving an indelible mark on the retail landscape. Data Source:- Company SEC Filings.

We all have heard about Walmart, which is the most popular retailer corporation in entire world. It has more than 10,500 retail stores & clubs in 20 countries. This corporation makes around $611.3 Billion annually. However, we do not know about the history of Walmart, that how the son of a poor farmer was able to establish such a great venture across the globe & how he became the richest person of the United States. Let's dive into the interesting biography of Sam Walton, who was the founder of Walmart by clicking the link below: https://lnkd.in/dZU6Df4m #biography #successtory #inspirationalstories #sucessstories #inspiring #grooming #selfdevelopment #selfreflection #walmart #walton

Last week, Walmart and Sam’s Club associates from all over the world gathered here in Bentonville, AR for Associate’s Week. The spirit and energy that this annual event breathes into our collective hearts as Walmart and Sam’s Club associates cannot be overstated. It is invigorating to have so many people here in our relatively small city at the heart of Walmart, USA. It’s a richly diverse gathering, not just in terms of cultures and countries represented, but also in diversity of career journeys, life experience, educational backgrounds, and so much more. This was the first year I was able to attend the Associate Celebration that wraps up the week. I saw incredible entertainment (Lizzo, anyone??). I also heard from Paris Hilton and Robert Downy, Jr. about their products available at Walmart. I enjoyed the lighthearted antics of host Peyton Manning, hearing leaders from different parts of the company talk about our future, and seeing the unique things happening at various stores around the world. What was most impactful to me though, was the message from CEO Doug McMillon as he recognized three amazing associates for their dedication and the difference they make every day. He spoke about the impact of consistent effort towards achieving goals, the importance of celebrating wins and success, and the inspiration to be found in moving targets. I really needed that message. I’m personally coming out of the most difficult year of my professional life to date. That idea of “moving targets”, for whatever reason, really clicked and resonated with me. We have been experiencing a lot of change recently in Walmart Global Tech, some of it unprecedented for many of us. It’s been a challenge to stay optimistic and seek out success in times of uncertainty. It’s so easy to lose sight of positivity when things are happening around us that we can’t control. But there are always things we can control, even in the midst of the unknown. Through that lens, moving targets are a really positive thing - an opportunity for a different way of working, a chance to discover a spark of creativity, a moment to foster new ideas. Change can stifle us with fear, or motivate us towards evolution. The rest of this year, I will be working on the latter. Here’s to an incredible remainder of FY25 at Walmart. I look forward to what the future holds! #WMT2024

This week we shared our Q4 earnings and the numbers are impressive. What’s even more impressive is the real story that’s behind those numbers. The real story is the Walmart associates across the country who made those earnings numbers happen. ⭐ Like the cashiers and customer hosts who welcome each customer with a smile.  ⭐ Or the private fleet drivers who take pride in safely delivering every shipment on schedule. ⭐ Or the stocking associates who make sure store shelves are filled with the items their customers need. ⭐ Or the tech teams who create tools that make working for and shopping at Walmart easy in ways we don’t even realize. ⭐ Or the store managers who lead with compassion and develop our next generation of leaders. Those are just a few of the countless examples of how our associates make the difference in communities everywhere. Helping people live better defines Walmart culture. And our associates bring it to life every day. Now, let’s go do it again in 2024! #InItToWinIt #TeamWalmart

Another great quarterly performance by team Walmart in a persistently unforgiving and challenging retail environment. Of note, several recent media articles have been titled as below, or made reference to who's biggest. Click bait. In my 22 years at Walmart corporate, being "the biggest" was never a goal. Never an aspiration. Never a "thing." Frankly, who the hell cares?! In all those years, I never attended a meeting or ever heard an executive cite this arbitrary aspiration as anything but a result of the hard work performed by the 2 million plus associates - day in and day out. So, for the media gurus wanting top-line size to matter, to be the goal, spend more time writing about what DOES matter - doing the relevant things well, consistently focusing on the core customer, and having the courage to correct missteps and mistakes quickly. No retailer is perfect. Certainly not Walmart. However, repeating results speak for themselves. Consistency, not shiny things or Wall Street blips is what matters. #retail #retailleadership Kroger Amazon The Home Depot Lowe's Companies, Inc.

July 1962 - 61 Years ago. Can Tiny Walmart survive against the big guys? Fast forward to 2023 and here is Walmart's current status: * One of the largest retailers in the world * Bigger than Kmart * Bigger than Target * 11,000 Locations * 27 Countries * Employes 2.3 Million people globally * Annual sales exceeding 500$ Billion But what you don't hear about is their focus on people, quoting Walmart below: "Since our founding, the health and well-being of our associates has always been a top priority. Our goal has always been to give associates the tools they need to become the best versions of themselves. When people feel supported, they’re much more likely to take advantage of opportunities to succeed – inside and outside of work. Over the years, the benefits we offer our associates have continued to evolve to ensure we are supporting every aspect of well-being from physical and emotional to financial wellness. " People are Walmart, and focusing on their people is one of the key reasons for their success. Healthy Buildings are not a luxury, but a necessity to continue growing your business.

Another example of an agile and adaptive organization led by strong executive leadership and an excellent HR team. Being able to change an established profitable organization to a digitally-supported location/eCommerce organization is a great example of listening to and responding to changing market and customer requirements. A lesson to other companies and leaders who struggle with change and adaptability. Being customer-centric or employee-centric is not mutually exclusive.
