Hershey announces first bilingual manufacturing facility

The Hershey Company announced its first bilingual manufacturing facility. Through the launch of the company’s ‘Say Hola’ initiative, the Hershey plant in Hazleton, Pennsylvania now seamlessly integrates both Spanish and English-speaking employees. The transformation evolves Hershey’s employee experience and ensures a work environment that’s accessible and equitable. In place for nearly one year, the program has enabled hiring of a more experienced workforce, improved retention and reduced recruitment costs. ‘Say Hola’ further advances Hershey’s commitments to its communities while underscoring enterprise-wide DEI priorities, career development programs and enhanced care systems and rewards for employees.
