Colleen’s staff is responsible for managing all programs, benefits and initiatives that impact all 21,000 employees of the company. The entire HR team is focused on assuring a positive work environment and enabling employees to perform at their very best.

Talent and learning are key elements of the HR strategy. As Roundy’s has grown quickly since 2002, so has its need for skilled employees. Campus recruiting has increased as well as the number of internal training opportunities for employees wishing to expand their industry knowledge.

The “foodie” in Colleen draws her to the fresh departments in our stores. She claims to be easily distracted when walking through bakery and deli and is always on a quest to find new and interesting foods.
