Arkansas
FILE — A Tyson Foods, Inc., sign marks the entrance to the company’s headquarters in Springdale, Ark., in this July 30, 2001 file photo. A federal grand jury in Tennessee indicted executives and managers of Tyson Foods Inc. on charges of conspiring to smuggle illegal aliens to the company’s poultry processing plants, the Justice Department said Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2001. A 36-count indictment unsealed Wednesday said Tyson’s managers tolerated the hiring of illegal aliens to meet production goals and cut costs.

Tyson gave workers until April 11th A decision will be made today on whether to move to the company’s headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas in early 2023. The company said the planned office closure is part of an effort to consolidate its employees into one location to improve collaboration and speed decision-making.

Tyson Chief Executive Donnie King said in a statement, “I’m certain the plan we have in place assures business continuity and positions us for long-term success. “When we announced the consolidation of our corporate offices, we were aware that there would be a range of reactions.”

Among the planned retirements are key managers. On Tuesday, Tyson said Shane Miller, head of the beef and pork division, will be replaced by Brady Stewart, who previously served as a chief operating officer of pork giant Smithfield Foods, in early 2023. Stated.

Miller has told people he was thinking of leaving the company rather than moving for family reasons, according to a person familiar with the matter. Tyson said Tuesday that Stewart will work with his Miller to ensure a smooth transition.

Leah Andersen, a senior vice president of Tyson’s pork business, also plans to leave rather than relocate, according to people familiar with the matter. Andersen did not respond to a request for comment.

“With Melanie Bolden as Chief Growth Officer and Brady Stewart as Fresh Meat’s new Group President, Northwest Arkansas has proven its ability to attract world-class talent,” King said. Bolden’s hiring was announced earlier this month by Tyson, who previously served as chief marketing officer for Coca-Cola Co.’s North American division.

Tyson’s beef and pork division will account for nearly half of the company’s $53 billion in revenue in fiscal 2022. Many of our employees have been based in our South Dakota office since Tyson acquired meatpacker IBP Inc. for more than $3 billion in 2001, bringing decades of industry experience and connections. I’m here.

Tyson’s ready-to-eat division has operated primarily out of Chicago since Jimmy Dean’s 2014 deal to acquire Hillshire Brands, maker of his Park hot dogs, with sausages and balls.

The expected employee departures at the meat giant come amid recent reshuffles of several top management positions, including heads of prepared foods and international divisions.

Tyson’s beef business was reported to have been profitable over the past two years. This is because understaffed facilities have scaled back production and strong consumer demand has pushed up the price of meat.

King said in a call that management is actively recruiting employees to relocate, and those who are not will remain at the location until new employees can be hired and trained in Northwest Arkansas. He said he was being asked to do so.

The company offers retention bonuses to move certain employees or to keep them on the job long enough to train new hires in Arkansas, according to people familiar with the matter. It is said that there is As a result, the final number of employees in South Dakota and Illinois who ultimately chose to relocate to Arkansas by 2023 could change.

Tyson’s website says some of the company’s newly listed positions, including food safety managers, will require significant travel to South Dakota to learn the roles.

Tyson said the building will house about 1,000 employees and plans to expand the company’s headquarters complex in Springdale will give it more space.
