Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, is raising salaries and benefits for store managers as it looks for ways to retain them.
Walmart said on Monday that managers of its U.S. stores would be eligible for grants of up to $20,000 in company stock every year.
The announcement came a few weeks after Walmart said it would increase the average salary for store managers to $128,000, up from $117,000.
The big-box retailer also said bonuses for store managers could reach up to 200 percent of base salary, with a store’s profitability becoming a bigger factor in the calculation.
Store managers are crucial in driving sales and profitability within their stores and keeping morale high in a dynamic business.
