Price Check at Kroger on New Uniforms Logo and Religious Accommodations

New uniforms and rebranding can be a fun and exciting time at a company. That, unfortunately, was not the case at Kroger grocery stores.

On today's episode, Chuck and John try to break the situation down discuss a wide range of topics. What should the role of a company be when introducing new branding? Can the way you communicate these changes impact the way employees receive them? How far does accommodation go and what role does consistency play? This episode is sure to spur some strong feeling on either side of the issue.
