In his final letter to shareholders, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on Thursday laid out a broad vision for the future of the company, committing to extend Amazon’s famous obsession over its customers to the same level of care for its employees.
Bezos pointed to the recent union election outcome at one of Amazon’s Alabama warehouses as an example of why the company needs to address challenges within its workforce. Last week, Amazon secured enough votes to defeat a historic unionization drive at its Bessemer, Alabama, warehouse, which if successful, would have represented the first union at a U.S. Amazon facility.
Amazon has famously held a core set of leadership principles, chief among them being “customer obsessed.” In the future, Bezos said he wants Amazon to do the same for its employees. Bezos will step down as CEO in the third quarter, turning the helm over to Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon Web Services. Bezos will transition to executive chairman of Amazon’s board.
