Case Study: Gordon Food Service unites 20,000 employees with Workvivo

Gordon Food Service connects 20,000 employees across 25 distribution centers with Workvivo

Gordon Food Service, a major food distributor, faced the challenge of maintaining its strong family culture as it grew to 20,000 employees across numerous distribution centers and retail stores. Geographic and demographic divides between office, warehouse, and delivery teams prevented collaboration and company-wide recognition, threatening their core principle that everyone is important. They turned to the vendor Workvivo to find a solution.

Workvivo provided a platform called Gordon Grove, which served as a digital home for all employees. The mobile-first solution featured a social feed, recognition tools, and a centralized resource hub. The results were immediate, successfully bridging divides and strengthening the culture. Employees across all locations gained visibility into each other's work, recognition became company-wide, and regional barriers dissolved, fully uniting the workforce.
